Cleddon Hall, Victorian country house in Trellech United, Wales
Cleddon Hall stands on elevated grounds with stone walls, multiple chimneys, and large windows overlooking the surrounding Monmouthshire countryside.
The property, formerly named Ravenscroft, gained recognition as the birthplace of philosopher Bertrand Russell on May 18, 1872 during Lord Amberley's ownership.
The residence became a center of progressive thinking in the 1870s, where discussions about women's rights and secular education challenged Victorian social norms.
The private residence sits approximately 6 miles south of Monmouth, between Trellech village and the A466 road leading to Llandogo.
Douglas Spalding, the household tutor, conducted behavioral experiments with animals inside the house, introducing early ethological research methods to the property.
