MARGAM CASTLE

 

Investigation begins 10 pm and closes between 4 and 5 am

The present Margam Castle, a Tudor Gothic mansion was, with it’s service buildings and courtyards, built between 1830 and 1840 and it is listed Grade I as a building of exceptional quality and with some spectacular features such as the staircase. It`s owner, Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot started the new building in 1820.

The Margam estate had been in his family since 1536,however Thomas Mansel Talbot had demolished the original mansion house in 1787 to replace it with the magnificent Orangery that can be seen in the gardens today. Proud of this ancient family lineage Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot had always been attracted to romantic Margam. He wished to rebuild a suitable country residence which would compliment Margam’s illustrious history.

Both the castle and grounds are reputed to be haunted.

Among many of the hauntings the castle is said to have the ghost of a ‘White Lady', who has also been seen in the grounds. It is believed she had once worked at the castle and had taken her own life after becoming pregnant. It is not known who this women was or who the father of the unborn child may have been. There are reports of one particular monk, that has been witnessed regularly in the Abbey and nearby ruined cloisters. It is also believed that several monks wander around the estate, along with a gentleman who has been described as a ‘well to do' type of man plus many more
