Llanvihangel Court

Llanvihangel Court is a Tudor manor house with a distinctive north front built from reddish-brown sandstone, showing six window bays across two storeys. The building received major additions in later centuries, creating a structure that spans multiple architectural periods.

The manor originated in Tudor times and underwent major enlargement around 1600 when Rhys Morgan expanded the structure significantly. A further period of renovation occurred in 1627 when the ownership changed and the new proprietor made additional alterations.

The name comes from a nearby church, reflecting how this estate connected to the local parish and community. The interior rooms display the wealth and status of its inhabitants through ornate plasterwork and fine carpentry.

The manor sits in the countryside north of Abergavenny near the Black Mountains and requires planning before visiting. Access is limited to specific periods during the year, so checking ahead ensures you can view the house and its grounds properly.

The gardens surrounding the manor were laid out in the mid-17th century and are now recognized as one of the most important historic garden sites in the region. This green heritage has the same protection status as the building itself.
