Formerly known as Llangoed Castle, the Hall is set in seventeen acres of Garden and Parkland in the valley of the River Wye, nine miles west of the picturesque Hay On Wye. According to the late Sir Clough William Ellis, the celebrated Welsh Architect, there appears to have been a house on this site since 560 AD. It is said that the First Welsh Parliament was held here.

Subsequently the building became for several centuries an Episcopal grange, only to be largely rebuilt in 1632 by Sir Henry Williams in the classic Jacobean Manor House Style. Sir Henrys Coat of Arms can still be seen over the South Porch.

During Regency times, the Williams family lost the property to a John McNamara in a gambling bout. In 1847, it was bought by John Bailey and by 1900 formed part of the great estate of Lord Glanusk. Soon afterwards, it was acquired by Mrs Archibald Christy, the wife of the prominent London hatter. It was Mrs Christy who commissioned Clough Williams Ellis to restore and largely redesign the house. The present building was completed in 1919, although parts of the South facing wing including the panelled library dating from 1632 were incorporated. Llangoed was Ellis’ first major commission and preceded Portmerion, his well known Italianate village in
