The Bulletin  

CHRISTMAS NUMBER  

Wednesday, December 11, 1957  

Price 1/-  

THE NATIONAL AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER  

Registered in Australia for transmission by post as newspaper.  

BARONIAL MAGNIFICENCE  

EXPRESSED IN MARBLE:  

PENRHYN CASTLE  

THE great castle of Penrhyn, which stands near  

Bangor* between the mountains of North  

Wales and the sea. is one of the most remarkable  

baronial mansions in Britain and is now in the  

care of the National rust. Its fame is due not  

to its history or traditions., but because it is  

monumental curiosity, resulting from the Gothic  

revival of the 19th century.  

Between 1820 and the end of the century there  

was wide demand for the revival of medievalism  

in art. literature, and especially architecture.  

Although for time this was manifest mainly in  

church architecture, it soon spread to domestic  

and public buildings until almost every type of  

structure was affected b\ its influence.  

When Richard Pennant became Baron Penrhyn  

in the 18th century he inherited an estate that  

was in ruinous condition. He decided, therefore,  

to build castle in the Norman style which would  

be unrivalled in North Wales for its magnificence.  

The site chosen was that of an earlier mansion  

which itself stood on ground once occupied by  

Welsh Ring of the Blh century. The old tower,  

the only part of (he previous building which  

suggested its feudal origins, was retained and  

completely enclosed in the new castle, which took  

nearly twenty years to complete. Thomas Hopper  

was the architect.  

The interior of Penrhyn gives an impression  

of feudal magnificence that is. rare even in  

genuinely ancient castles. Its great hall is modelled  

on the nave of Durham Cathedral, and visitors  

are impressed by the wealth of meticulous and  

superbly -executed detail which is feature of this  

great castle, and which is evident in this vieyv  

of the castle dining room.  

One of the historic relics to be seen by visitors  

to Penrhyn is the old Hirlas drinking-horn which  

belonged to the adventurous owner of the earlier  

castle in Elizabethan days. As test of manhood  

the horn had to be drained at one tip and blown  

immediately afterwards as proof that the emptying  

process had been well and truly completed.  

No. 378: the Homeland Series by the House of Seppelt.
