==History==
The estate was developed as a hunting lodge, and then medieval manor house with surrounding lands. Bought in the mid-Victorian era by Edward Trelawney, a friend of notable poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he extensively redeveloped the gardens as a then modern pleasure gardens through extensive terracing. After his death, new owner Joseph Lister employed architect Alfred Waterhouse to rebuild the property as a picturesque large cottage manor house. After his death in 1885 in a riding accident on the estate, it was bought by Gustavus Ducarel, the 4th Marquis de la Pasture.〔 His family had fled to England post the French Revolution, and although his father had by this time regained control of the family estate at Montreuil-sur-Mer, they lived mainly at the close-by Llandogo Priory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mrs Henry de la Pasture (from Auberon Waugh's foreword to ''The Unlucky Family'') )〕
After World War I, with the estate virtually abandoned by the now again fully French-resident family, in 1925 the entire estate was annexed to Pontypool Hospital, and after redevelopment opened on 3 October 1925 as the "Kate Ayres Gustard Convalescent Home", providing care for up to 24 women and children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Book commemorating the opening of "Kate Ayres Gustard Convalescent Home", 3 October 1925 )〕 Used from September 1939 as a child evacuation centre in the phoney war leading up to World War II, it then became a war casualty convalescence unit. Post war, in 1947 it was reopened as a maternity hospital, with accommodation for up to 18 patients.〔
During the early hours of 14 September 1973,〔 only two weeks after a fire inspection, a fire consumed the entire main property. As today, only the stable block survived (now home to a protected roost of bats), and the patients resultantly transferred to County Hospital in Griffithstown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cefn Ila Maternity Hospital )〕
