Hawarden Castle (18th century)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Hawarden Castle (medieval).
New Hawarden Castle, in Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales was the estate of former British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, which previously belonged to the family of his wife, Catherine Glynne.[1] It was built in 1752. Gladstone occupied this home until his death there in 1898.
The castle and estate are still a private residence (although some of the grounds are open to the public) and are still owned by the Gladstone family (the current proprietor is Sir William Gladstone).
In its grounds are the ruins of a medieval castle, Hawarden Castle.
