[1] The Elizabethan-style Llanrumney Hall and its 700 acres (280 ha) estate was originally built in 1450 and is thought that it passed to the Kemys family of Cefn Mably in the mid-1500s after the dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII.

[3] Llanrumney Hall has since been occupied by five generations of the Morgan family,[1] whose ancestral home was Tredegar House in Newport.

[2] In the mid-19th century, the hall was occupied by Edward Augustus Freeman, the Regius Professor of History at the University of Oxford.

[1] His family lived at the hall until the development of the surrounding housing estate, when in 1934 it was left by his nephew Charles Crofts Llewellyn Williams who died in 1952.

[2][1] There was a plan has been developed by Cardiff Council and CMB Engineering to redevelop the hall into an education and sporting facility at a cost of about £1 million.
