Golden Grove is a 16th Century Elizabethan Manor House on a site occupied since the Domesday Book. Built by Sir Edward Morgan, an official at the court of Elizabeth I in 1580, it was occupied continuously by the Morgan family until 1877. After a period in the hands of the Aberconway family it was purchased by Frank Mortimer, great-uncle of the present owners. Architecturally the house has many interesting features, the most prominent of which are the "Crow Stepped" gables introduced into the Vale of Clwyd from Flanders by Sir Richard Clough, a financial luminary of Elizabethan times. Extensively renovated in the reign of Queen Anne 1702-1714, the house acquired its fine 'dog-leg' staircase and the existing period doorways. Successive changes in Georgian and Victorian times have produced an harmonious manor house set in extensive formal gardens and surrounded by its own agricultural estate. ACCESS By written appointment only.
