Historical Note Caer Rhun Hall dates from 1895 and was built for a Major-General Gough, who was Lieutenant Governor of Jersey between 1904 to 1910. The house replaced the original Plas Caerhun, which was a largely 17th Century house with probable medieval origins and the seat of the Davies and subsequently the Davies-Griffith families, which General Gough married into. The Hall is built adjacent to the Roman fortress Canovium, which was excavated between 1926-29, and some artefacts from the dig can be seen in the grounds at present, others are in various museums. The Gough family left Caer Rhun shortly after the excavation and in the early 1930’s the Hall was acquired by a Dr Kenrick, a distinguished King’s Counsel, who had served as a lawyer in India. He lived at Caer Rhun on his own and was a keen gardener and lover of music. Following his death in 1952 the Hall and contents were sold by Auction, the hall being bought in 1953 by the late V.R. Anderson to house his well established and successful accountancy and business courses. On his death in 1971 the business was continued by his son, the present owner, who re- invested in the property and grew the business exponentially. Indeed, the accountancy and training courses increased considerably following 1971 which led to the building of the ‘new wing’, a purpose built accommodation block providing study bedrooms all with en-suite facilities. Further student accommodation was created together with extensive office space and superbly equipped lecture rooms. Recreational facilities were also added with students’ TV room, bar/games room, a football pitch, a 5 hole golf course and, of particular note, a squash court. Following the present owner’s retirement in 2003 Caer Rhun Hall has been successfully let to Kaplan Financial Ltd a company specializing in accountancy training and the property has also been used as a conference centre and wedding venue. Indeed, Caer Rhun is well known in the ‘accountancy world’, having been a reputable training centre for over 60 years.

House History of Llanerch y Felin, Rowen Introduction Llanerch y Felin is reputed to be the oldest house in the village of Rowen. The Royal Commission on Ancient & Historical Monuments Vol (i) East dated the earliest parts of the house as being 1590. An extract from the volume is in the appendix. However research in the Cymryd papers has indicated that this date is either incorrect and or that there was an earlier house or houses on the same site. The earliest documented record of the property is in the Cymryd Papers in a lease dated 1565, held in Gwynedd Archives. An early photograph of the house indicates that there was a building to the West of the house. There was also evidence of an early building in the yard to Llanerch y Felin. Part constructed of stone this was in use as a garage/store until its demolition in 2011 to make way for a new entrance into the field. It is believed that this was once also a dwelling, and could be one of the two buildings referred to in the Cymryd lease.
