Garthmyl Hall, Berriew

The original house, was known as Garthmyl House and was sited to the east of the present house and a print (probably copied from a drawing) shows a large timbered framed mansion The house had been the ancestral home of the Jones family. This house is likely to have been built by John Reynolds (a cousin to the Jones Family), who died in 1672. Following a fire in the mid-eighteenth century, part of the house remained until at least 1825 when it was recorded on an estate map. The old house had been demolished by the time of the subsequent tithe map of 1840 and a new house may have been built on the site of the present Garthmyl Hall In 1859 Garthmyl was purchased by John Naylor of Leighton Hall…
