A Royal Home in Wales by Mark Baker
The new story of the new Welsh royal residence of the Prince of Wales. Purchased in 2006 by the Duchy of Cornwall, Llwynywormwood is, amazingly, the first royal residence situated in Wales since the time of the English Civil War. A secluded and forgotten estate set tranquilly in the heart of Carmarthenshire, Llynywormwood has been a highly significant and symbolic purchase for the Prince of Wales. This book charts the history of a once great estate and follows a family's changing fortunes through to the sale and subsequent demolition of the mansion house and its recent renaissance.
The author: In a career which began at the age of 13, Mark Baker has written ten books on Welsh houses and their families, as well as campaigning tirelessly for the historic built environment. His books include The Rise and Fall of Gwrych Castle, Hafodunos Hall - Triumph of the Martyr, Plas Teg - A Jacobean Country House and Forgotten Houses of Wales (with Michael Tree). Currently a PhD candidate at Cardiff University, Mark's home is on the North Wales coast.
