Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox historic site Bertholey House, is a country house near the village of Llantrisant, in Monmouthshire, Wales. A Tudor house originally stood on the site, the home of the Kemeys family. In the 1830s, a new mansion was built, in a Neoclassical style, for Colthurst Bateman. This house was almost completely destroyed in a fire in 1905. From 1999, the mansion was restored and is again a private home. The gardens and grounds are listed on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

History

The estate at Bertholey originally belonged to a cadet branch of the Kemeys family of Kemeys Manor. John Newman, in his Gwent/Monmouthshire volume of the Pevsner Buildings of Wales notes that Edward, Lord of Kemeys, had established his family in South Wales in the early 13th century.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1809, Colthurst Bateman (1780-1859) married Jane Sarah Kemeys Gardener-Kemeys, heiress to Bertholey, and they built a new house on the site. This has been attributed to George Vaughan Maddox of Monmouth, a prominent local architect.[1]Шаблон:Efn

The house was almost totally destroyed in a fire in 1905.[2] It was restored in 1999.[3]
