Cwm, Llanrothal, Jesuit gathering place in Llanrothal, England.

The Cwm consists of two separate houses, Upper Cwm and Lower Cwm, divided by a walled forecourt within the Herefordshire countryside.

In 1678, Protestant officials raided the site during the Popish Plot and confiscated 150 volumes from its library to Hereford Cathedral.

The structure operated as the Welsh Jesuit College of St Francis Xavier from 1622, serving as a provincial center for Catholic education.

The current Grade II listed building stands 5 miles from Pontrilas, incorporating elements from earlier structures and featuring preserved bee boles.

The houses generated substantial income of £60 annually from their lands during the early 17th century, equivalent to £10,000 in modern currency.
