Background
History
A manor house was first built at Dolforgan in the 17th century, as the residence of the Fox family. In the middle of the 17th century the house was purchased by the Herbert family. Between 1790 and 1800, the house was extensively rebuilt and extended by John Herbert, essentially creating a new house. This new hall may have been designed by architect John Johnson. Some remains of the earlier building were left at the rear of the house. Between 1807 and 1818, an iron bridge was built to carry the main drive to the house. This is one of the earliest iron bridges in the world.
Description
The hall has a three-storey Regency style facade. The entrance has two full-height pilasters, and four columns holding up an ionic porch. There is a Gothic style sawmill on the grounds.
