Llanrumney Hall from pub to community centre number 3789


The Llanrumney Hall , a grade 2 listed building was built as an Elizabethan mansion owned by the Keynsham Abbey but remodelled. Owned later by the Kemys family it passed into the Morgan family when Catherine Kemys married Henry the 16th to 18th centuries the Morgans were Sherriffs of Monmouthshire and Edward Morgan became deputy Sherriff of Jamaica. It was then that his daughter married a relative, Captain Sir Henry Morgan, the famous buccaneer whose uncle William Morgan owned the Llanrumney Hall. The mansion became a remand home in 1952 as the estate was being built and later became a hotel and pub as the council estate surrounded it. Closed for some years it is here being converted into a community centre for the local residents.
