Margam
Castle is a Tudor gothic mansion located near Neath, Port Talbot.
It was commissioned by Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot, designed
by architect Thomas Hopper and built in between 1830 and 1840.
The Talbot family owned the property until just after the outbreak
of the war in 1939 and was brought in 1942 by Sir David Evans-Devan
the owner of Vale of Neath Brewery although he never actually
lived in the premises. With no occupants from 1942 the building
fell to ruin and became an empty shell. It was not until 1973
that Glamorgan County Council purchased the estate and began
the renovation of the estate. The castle was the last of their
priorities so little work was done on its renovation. In June
1977 a fire totally gutted the interior of the castle leaving
just the masonry shell intact. From August 1977 a restoration
programme began replacing fire areas and a new roof, with the
magnificent entrance hall and stairways getting the main attention.
The buildings North wing now exists as a Field Study Centre
and the only areas open to the public are some of the ground
floor rooms, entrance hall and bottom of the stairway. The upper
floors are still accessible and the first floor consists of
sheet wooden flooring sitting on new timber joists, some of
which is very unsafe.
The
gallery is popular with paranormal enthusiasts, especially due
to the coverage by Living TV's Most Haunted.
