A fascinating and informative, illustrated talk presented by

A representative of the National Trust

On Wednesday 5th March 2025

at Crosskeys RFC

Doors open at 7.00pm ready for a 7.30pm start.

Tredegar House is a place shaped by the local community, and has been under the stewardship of The National Trust since 2012, the house and its surrounding gardens and parkland stand proudly at the heart of Newport’s heritage.

Tredegar House is one of the architectural wonders of Wales and one of the most significant late 17th-century houses in the whole of the British Isles. For more than 500 years the house was home to one of the great Welsh families, the Morgans.

The Morgan family owned more than 40,000 acres in Monmouthshire, Breconshire and Glamorgan at the end of the 18th century.

Stuart, who is a volunteer with the National Trust will give us an insight into the lives of the Morgan family and  how they impacted on the population of south-east Wales socially, economically and politically and how they influenced the heritage of the area.

Click here for visitor information if you are planning to visit the house in the future – and I’m sure this talk will convince you that it is a very worthwhile destination.
