From the Wikipedia article
Plas Machynlleth, known locally as Y Plas, is a mansion situated in the market town of Machynlleth in Powys, Wales. It is the former Welsh residence of the Marquesses of Londonderry. It was brought into the Londonderry family following the 1846 marriage of the then Viscount Seaham (who later became, in March 1854, Earl Vane, and in November 1872, the 5th Marquess of Londonderry) to Mary Cornelia Edwards, who inherited it on the death of her father, Sir John Edwards, in 1850. Sir John had extended and renamed the house. It is a Grade II* listed building and its gardens, now mainly a public park, are listed on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

Background
History
Plas Machynlleth is known to have existed since the seventeenth century. The property was bought by John Edwards, a local solicitor, in the 1750s. By 1765, a three-storey double-pile house had been built on the property; this now forms the core of the building. no family members remained at the house; many of the Londonderry family's landholdings were sold in 1931, and Plas Machynlleth was closed throughout the 1930s. The Plas is now used as a community and meetings venue. The gardens are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
