Buckland Hall (Brecon)
Buckland Hall is a grade II listed building set in an estate near Brecon Powys, within the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park. One historian has noted:-
“ The estate lies in the most fought-over area of the South Welsh Marches, where the Usk, having spread a delectable vale, opens a gateway through the Black Mountains, as though to tempt the invader within. The ancient road from Gaer to Caerleon, traversing the estate, is studded with Roman camps and memorial stones: close to Scethrog stands the “Victorinus Stone” to the son of a general who perished in Cwm Gelanedd (the Valley of Slaughter) by the roadside there.
The Great Fire at Buckland
On Wednesday the 23rd of January 1894, a most disastrous fire occurred at Buckland Hall, the ancient ancestral home of Mr Gwynne-Holford,, some time member of Parliament for the borough of Brecon, which was completely laid in ruins. About 4.30 in the morning, Mrs Gwynne-Holford awoke, and at once observed a strong smell of smoke. She at once aroused her husband and Mr David Gwynne [her nephew]; and it was then discovered that the house was on fire.The local paper relates how a messenger rode to Brecon, asked directions to the fire station, the alarm was raised, the town’s volunteers donned their breeches, hitched the horses and clattered down the eight miles to reach the fire. The building was subsequently burnt to the ground.
Buckland Hall was re-built, completed in 1898
