The Baileys of Glanusk: from ironmasters to landed gentry
Eliane Wigzell will describe the family’s rise from ironmasters in Nant y Glo to landed gentry with estates in Breconshire, Radnorshire, Herefordshire and Glamorgan.
Sir Joseph Bailey purchased Glanusk in 1826 and built his mansion there. It was demolished in 1952 after damage during the Army’s requisition of the house in the 2nd World War.
Copies of Great Houses of Crickhowell, which Eliane co-authored with Elizabeth Siberry and Ryland Wallace, will be available for sale.
