History
editEriviat was associated with the Foulkes family for over 10 generations from the Middle Ages. One of the first owners was Ednyfed ap Goronwy Llwyd (fl.1457). His son was Einion Llwyd. Ednyfed's great-great-grandson was Thomas ap Goronwy (fl.1524–45) whose son, ffoulke ap Thomas ap Goronwy (fl.1539–73), provided the family with its original name, Foulkes.[1]
The estate passed through several generations until the death of Robert ffoulkes in 1728. His brother Peter's fifth son, John ffoulkes (1699–1758), also acquired by marriage the Rhydonen estate in Llantysilio, Denbighshire, through his marriage with Catherine, daughter and heir of Henry Roberts.[1]
Later owners included John ffoulkes (1736–1814), John Powell ffoulkes (1770–1826) and John Jocelyn ffoulkes (1813–58) whose second daughter Edith Caroline married P.H. Humberston of Glan y Wern, Denbighshire.[1] John Proudlock bought the house in 2005. It was taken over by Conrad Proudlock when John passed away. It is now liquidated. It has hosted the actor Kit Harington amongst others.[2][3][4]
As of 2021, it was on the market for £1.5m and subsequently sold to a private buyer.[5]
Architecture
editThe original house may have dated from c.1467. The present house is a brick-built two-storey house. The entrance elevation has a three-gable, four-window front, and the remaining windows have mullions and transoms.[6]
