Halswell House

[1][2] The Domesday Book of 1086 lists the holder of the manor of Halswell as Roger Arundel, whose tenant was Wido.

Sir Nicholas had settled much of his property, including Halswell, onto Henry in 1628 in order to escape his creditors.

He was succeeded successively by his three sons: Sir Halsewell Tynte, 3rd Baronet (1705–30), of Halswell and Cefnmabli, whose two daughters died young; Rev.

By the end of 2013 the derelict eighteenth-century lake system called Mill Wood, containing follies, bridges, dams and waterfalls was purchased by the same owner and reunited with the house for the first time since the estate was broken up in 1950.

[10] The grounds contain many fanciful buildings, fish ponds, cascades and bridges,[11] including the Temple of Harmony which stands in Mill Wood.

Robin Hood's Hut is now owned by the Landmark Trust, who let the building on short holiday leases.
