Margam Castle



Margam, Neath Port Talbot, Wales

Margam Castle is a formidable 19th Century Gothic Mansion designed by the architect Thomas Hopper for Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot. The house was built in 1830-1840 at a cost of £50,000 using sandstone from nearby Pyle quarry.



The mansion is Grade I Listed and of exceptional quality. Until 1942 the Castle and estate remained in the ownership of the Talbot family when it was acquired by a local landowner and in 1974 by the County Council, the present owners when it was of ruinous state. A disastrous fire in 1977 gutted the interior and it is currently being renovated

      We we don't believe

  • Rachel is standing at the rear entrance to the house, looking up and admiring a beautiful stained glass window.

    thank you

  • There are two voices captured here, both have childlike voices and the tempo is unusually fast.

    Mother me - Mother Browning's here

  • Looking around the church graveyard, Rachel has noticed the abundance of fresh flowers placed on many of the graves. Unfortunately not able to hear the message at the time, Rachel did not know to look for the resting place of Grace.

    go and see grace
