Newton House, Grade I listed building in Brecon, Wales

Newton House features a square plan with three levels, a pyramidal slate roof, and six substantial chimneys rising from its 16th-century structure.

The Games family constructed Newton House in 1582, establishing it as their residence until the 1690s when the Walker family acquired the property.

The great hall contains a stone-flagged floor, raised dais, and fireplace displaying the Games family crest with genealogy dating to medieval times.

Located at 137 meters elevation, Newton House maintains its original features including medieval screens, plasterwork, carvings, and detailed inscriptions throughout the building.

The property connects to Dafydd Gam, who received knighthood from Henry V at Agincourt and potentially influenced Shakespeare's character Fluellen in Henry V.
