Mostyn Hall

Mostyn Hall is a large country house with sandstone walls, slate roofs, steep gables, and latticed windows surrounded by extensive gardens. The building combines rooms and structures from different periods, spanning from medieval foundations to later additions.

The great hall dates to 1470, but was substantially rebuilt by Roger and Mary Mostyn in the early 17th century. A century later, architect Ambrose Poynter brought further significant changes in the 1840s.

The dining room shows original 17th-century details, including a five-section panelled ceiling and a fireplace decorated with heraldic shields. These crafted elements reveal how wealthy families displayed their status through refined interior design.

The grounds and buildings are open to visitors on designated days throughout the year. It helps to plan ahead since opening hours are limited and not available every day of the week.

A Tudor gatehouse from 1570 stands separate on the grounds and shows the architectural styles favored in different phases of the estate. The decorative iron gates from the 18th century are among the oldest surviving examples of their type in the region.
