A House Shaped by Centuries
Llanyrafon Manor Farm is a 16th-century gentry house, constructed upon the remains of an earlier Cistercian monks’ farmstead. Elements of the original monastic site remain visible today—stonework and boundary lines shaped by hands devoted to ritual, prayer, and cyclical living. This is a house imbued with memory, where history lingers. At Samhain, these layered pasts resonate with particular intensity.
