Llanvihangel Court: Legends, Plots and Pugs

Описание к видео Llanvihangel Court: Legends, Plots and Pugs

In the late 17th century, Llanvihangel Court was home to a man on a mission. The vehemently (indeed, feverishly) anti-Catholic John Arnold became the chief proponent of the Popish Plot in Monmouthshire. Was his desire to hunt down priests borne out of a sense of religious duty or did he have his eye on political advancement? Either way, tragedy was to follow treachery.
We also have a quick look at the legends surrounding the Skirrid and its eponymous inn, and learn about the early 20th century owner of the Court, Mrs Attwood-Mathews, who had a keen eye for Egyptian curios and rather radical thoughts about home improvements.

P.S. We were fumbling for the former name of the Skirrid Mountain Inn - It was originally called 'Millbrook' and in 1110 a trial is recorded having taken place there.
