More about this scene
A corner of the 13th-century castle can be seen at the top right of the picture, though our main subject is the country house built by Thomas Mansel Talbot in the 1770s and its 19th-century additions. A stone-faced wing by William Powell was added between 1812 and 1817, and the last building phase was the block erected between 1893 and 1896. The front also sported an ornate iron and glass conservatory by Macfarlane's of Glasgow, but this was removed after the Second World War. Further demolition was undertaken during 1967-68.
