Gnoll Country Park House Cellars

Neath Borough Council unknowingly purchased two houses for the price of one when obtaining Gnoll house in 1923. Gnoll house was demolished in 1957 by the council and this house was known as the 18th century mansion of the Mackworth family. The other unknown house purchased was the original and smaller 17th century gentry hall-house built by the Evans family who were 'of the Gnoll' and Neath. The Mackworths married into the Evans family 30 years after the Evans gentry hall-house was built on the Gnoll Estate. During the 18th Century, generations of the Mackworths upgraded Gnoll House. Sir Herbert Mackworth added north and south wings to create the illusion of castle towers turning a classical mansion into the grandeur of Gnoll House. By 1845 the north east wing of the house had gone. The end of the Mackworth era saw the demise of the Great Gnoll House and Estate. In 1881 Charles Evan Thomas who then owned the Gnoll House pulled down the east wing of the house and changed the appearance of the house by removing the castellated ornamentation. These changes reduced the grandeur of the house by 40ft.
