  Location of Trewyn House in Monmouthshire | |
Trewyn House, Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a country house dating from 1692. Its origins are older but the present building was constructed by the Delahayes at the very end of the 17th century when the house sat in Herefordshire. It has since been extended and reconstructed giving an "obscure and complicated" building history. The house is Grade II* listed. The parkland has traces of 17th-century terracing and a rare Grade II* listed dovecote. It is listed Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
The origins of the house are late-medieval, evidenced by the construction of the "extensive, vaulted cellars."[1] The house was purchased by the Delahayes in the late 17th century, who rebuilt the house in 1672.[2] At that point, the house was located in Herefordshire.[2] In the late 18th century, the house was owned by Jeremiah Rosher,[2] whose family promoted the seaside resort of Rosherville, at Northfleet in Kent.[1] The Roshers owned the house until the late 19th or early 20th century, undertaking significant restorations in the 1870s directed by Isobel Bernadette Rosher, an amateur architect.[2] In the early 20th century, the house was again restored to its 18th-century appearance, with alterations in the Arts and Crafts style.[2] Remaining in private ownership, the house was again restored in 1990–5.[2]
