A Timeline of Plas Nannau ‘Hall’.

Plas Nannau Hall

Sir Clough Williams-Ellis Alterations to Nannau
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (creator of Portmeirion, some twenty-five miles away) designed some alterations to Nannau in 1934, but I am unsure what these were or if they were implemented.
The 1949 Royal Visit
The Princess Elizabeth And The Duke Of Edinburgh (Earl Of Merioneth) had lunch at Nannau during their tour of Merioneth on April 28th & 29th, 1949.
Nannau Sold to Edward Alexander Morrison III
The house was sold to Edward Alexander Morrison III, D.F.C. and his wife Barbara Stanger MacKenzie-Smith Morrison. The lived there from 1965-1979.
Pavilion Wings Demolished
The pavilion wings were demolished in the late 1960s-1970, although the cellars seem to have survived, as do the arches of the east (right) wing and some of the outline of the buildings behind.
Nannau in “Haunted Wales”
Nannau is mentioned in Peter Underwood’s book “Haunted Wales” (and repeated in “Where the Ghosts Walk: The Gazetteer of Haunted Britain”). There is also a photo of Nannau in the book which shows the Pavilion Wings had already been removed.
Mr. E.A. Morrison was the owner at the time as he is mentioned in the book.
Nannau as a Hotel
Nannau was converted into a hotel when it was sold in 1979 (to a Mr. Bowen?). The interior was drastically altered to make more bedrooms.
Nannau Goes Self-Catering
The house now has three self-catering suites (two on the first floor of the house and one on the first floor of the Coach House). See Brochures & Advertising.
Nannau Nearly Goes B&B
Nannau became the family home of Dafydd Maslen-Jones and his wife Julie. Dafydd was a direct descendant of Owain Glyndwr. They were planning to turn it into a Bed and Breakfast in March 1995, but it was sold later the same year.
2001-Present
Nannau was bought by Jason Cawood for £240,000 on February 12th 2001.
In 2002 the owner was given Listed Building Consent for substitution of previously removed classical entrance hall screen, pilasters, in-situ plaster cornicing, lathe and plaster, internal wall linings and ceilings, ceiling roses, internal doors, door linings, architraves and skirtings.
The Coach House was sold on 12th June, 2001 for £162,500.
Work stopped on the House Around 2002.
