Erddig, Country house in Marchwiel, United Kingdom.
Description
Erddig is a country house in Marchwiel, Wales, marked by red brick walls, stone dressings, and multiple window styles including various dormers. The structure shows symmetrical elevations with architectural details from different building periods.
History
Thomas Webb built the house in 1683 for Joshua Edisbury. John Meller later added double wings in two separate building campaigns spanning several decades.
Culture
The name comes from Welsh land-holding traditions that shaped these estates. Visitors today walk through the former servants' quarters decorated with portraits and poems of household staff from the 1700s and 1800s.
Practical
The National Trust manages this estate with access through guided tours of interiors and surrounding grounds. Visiting the upper floors helps visitors understand the building phases from different periods.
Did you know?
Early in the twentieth century, decorative tin ceilings were installed as a fire safety measure while making ornate plasterwork unnecessary. These patented panels stretch across multiple rooms and show a rare example of innovative building precautions from that era.
