Fix this textBARONIAL MAGNIFICENCE
Fix this textEXPRESSED IN MARBLE:
Fix this textPENRHYN CASTLE
Fix this textTHE great castle of Penrhyn, which stands near
Fix this textA Bangor* between the mountains of North
Fix this textWales and the sea. is one of the most remarkable
Fix this textbaronial mansions in Britain and is now in the
Fix this textcare of the National 1 rust. Its fame is due not
Fix this textto its history or traditions., but because it is a
Fix this textmonumental curiosity, resulting from the Gothic
Fix this textrevival of the 19th century.
Fix this textBetween 1820 and the end of the century there
Fix this textwas a wide demand for the revival of medievalism
Fix this textin art. literature, and especially architecture.
Fix this textAlthough for a time this was manifest mainly in
Fix this textchurch architecture, it soon spread to domestic
Fix this textand public buildings until almost every type of
Fix this textstructure was affected b\ its influence.
Fix this textWhen Richard Pennant became Baron Penrhyn
Fix this textin the 18th century he inherited an estate that
Fix this textwas in a ruinous condition. He decided, therefore,
Fix this textto build a castle in the Norman style which would
Fix this textbe unrivalled in North Wales for its magnificence.
Fix this textThe site chosen was that of an earlier mansion
Fix this textwhich itself stood on ground once occupied by
Fix this texta Welsh Ring of the Blh century. The old tower,
Fix this textthe only part of (he previous building which
Fix this textsuggested its feudal origins, was retained and
Fix this textcompletely enclosed in the new castle, which took
Fix this textnearly twenty years to complete. Thomas Hopper
Fix this textwas the architect.
Fix this textThe interior of Penrhyn gives an impression
Fix this textof feudal magnificence that is. rare even in
Fix this textgenuinely ancient castles. Its great hall is modelled
Fix this texton the nave of Durham Cathedral, and visitors
Fix this textare impressed by the wealth of meticulous and
Fix this textsuperbly -executed detail which is a feature of this
Fix this textgreat castle, and which is evident in this vieyv
Fix this textof the castle dining room.
Fix this textOne of the historic relics to be seen by visitors
Fix this textto Penrhyn is the old Hirlas drinking-horn which
Fix this textbelonged to the adventurous owner of the earlier
Fix this textcastle in Elizabethan days. As a test of manhood
Fix this textthe horn had to be drained at one tip and blown
Fix this textimmediately afterwards as proof that the emptying
Fix this textprocess had been well and truly completed.
