Lamphey Court is a Grade II* listedStructure of particular architectural and/or historic interest deserving of special protection. Greek revival mansion north of the village of Lamphey, Pembrokeshire, in South Wales. It was built in 1823 by Charles Delamotte Mathias, a member of a family of wealthy slave and tea-plantation owners in Jamaica. The name of the architect is unrecorded, but it may have been William Owen jnr. of Haverfordwest.[1]
The house remained in the Mathias family until 1978. Following restoration and extensions, it was re-opened as a hotel by the present owners in 1980.[1]
The main facade is two storeys high and seven bays wide. A full-height four-column Ionic portico occupies the three centre bays, which are recessed behind the columns.[1] The whole is rendered and whitened, and the low-hipped slate roofs are concealed behind a plain parapet.[2] The gardens and park are listed, jointly with the garden at Lamphey Bishop’s Palace, as Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[3]
