History

Flintshire Hall is a classic Jacobean H-plan house dating from the sixteenth century. It was built by Edward Lloyd in approximately 1625 incorporating a house a century earlier. The property has three architectural features that are probably unique, its entrance hall with medieval oak screen, the late-gothic y-sbûr at the bottom of the staircase and the Llettai, outside, together with overseer’s cottage which provided lodgings for wayfarers and poor travellers after the suppression of the monasteries by Henry Vlll. The Llettae consists of a range of eight small vaulted cells under a stone roof. Originally, the present Flintshire Hall drive was the main road until it was moved by Mr Pennant Lloyd in about 1860. Before that, travellers used to pass near the house and ask for food until Mr Edward Lloyd built the Llettai with overseer’s cottage on the south-east of the house in the sixteenth century. The house is still owned by the family that is directly descended from the original owners, the Lloyd family, since medieval times. The Lloyds of Pentrehobyn are descended from Hywel ap Edwin who was Prince of Wales in 1096 and who died in 1103. Various members of the family have been High Sheriffs of Flintshire and they are a long-established Welsh family. The over mantel in the main panelled hall contains the coat of arms of the Lloyds of Pentrehobyn and of Morgan of Gwylgre with whom they were related. The latter contains 3 English heads granted as a coat of arms in the reign of King John after an attack on the army of Randulph, Earl of Chester, when Ednyfid Fychan gained a notable victory, killing 3 English Captains whose heads he laid at the feet of the Prince of Wales.
