AdminHistoryThe Georgian mansion known as Nannau is situated in Llanfachreth parish, Merionethshire and was, for centuries, the home of one of the most powerful families in Wales. The Nanney family were great patrons of the bards and the last family member of that name to hold the estate was Colonel Hugh Nanney, M.P. for Merioneth (1695-1701). His heiress from his marriage to Catherine of Cors-y-gedol was Janet who married Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt in 1719.
Hengwrt lays in the parish of Llanelltyd, near Dolgellau.
AcquisitionTransferred to Bangor University Archives and Special Collections by Philip Nannau in 2017 after the completion of his book "Nannau - A Rich Tapestry of Welsh History" (2016)
