Bryntysilio Hall

Bryntysilio Hall is a country house in Llantysilio, Denbighshire, north Wales, two miles west of Llangollen.

It was the summer residence of Sir Theodore Martin, the author of Life of The Prince Consort, the official biography of Prince Albert, and of his wife, Shakespearean actress Lady Martin (Helena Faucit).

Sir Theodore died at Byntysilio Hall on 18 August 1909, and his coffin was taken by train to London for burial.

The Llangollen Advertiser of 27 August 1909 reported "For two miles along the banks of the Dee the road was lined with sympathisers, and blinds were drawn at all residences along the route"[5] Originally a small cottage called Braich y Gwynt, it was purchased in 1865 and was greatly enlarged, the work being completed in 1870.

[1][6] Occupied by the military in World War II the house was afterwards restored, but much reduced in size by Sydney Aston before being later sold to Walsall Schools Holiday Camp Trust as an outdoor education centre.
