FPV- Tredegar House

Tredegar House is a 17th-century Charles II country house mansion in the city of Newport. Described as "The grandest and most exuberant country house" in Monmouthshire. For over five hundred years it was home to one of the greatest of Welsh families, the Morgans (the same family as Captain Morgan) until they left in 1951. After 1951 the house was bought by the Catholic Church as a convent school with boarders, later St. Joseph's Roman Catholic comprehensive school. It was bought by the Newport Corporation Council in 1974, giving rise to its then status as "the grandest council house in Britain". Newport City Council provides guided tours which cover of most of the house, many major rooms and the vast kitchens. The tours include details of its long history and the personalities involved. In December 2011 the National Trust signed an agreement with Newport City Council to take on the management of the building, as well as the 90 acres of gardens and parkland, on a 50-year lease from 2012.
