Bedwellty House

It was built in the early 19th century on the site of an earlier building and subsequently enlarged into its present form by mid-century.

The grounds are included on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales, the only estate so listed in Blaenau Gwent.

The Morgans reacquired the building by mid-century and reserved for the use of the manager of the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company.

The Morgan family gave the house and its grounds to the local community in 1901 and it was remodelled as offices for the Urban District Council.

[1] The surrounding 26-acre (110,000 m2) Victorian garden and park, designed originally as a Dutch garden around which one could walk or ride without being confronted by gate, fence or outside features; contains the Long Shelter, a Grade II-listed structure built for the Chartist movement.
