From the Wikipedia article

Trefecca Fawr is a well-preserved 17th-century Welsh gentry house located in Talgarth, Powys. Constructed in approximately 1650, the property has been owned by various notable individuals including Thomas Harris (in the 18th century) and the Gwynne family (in the 18th and 19th centuries). The two-storey gentry house is listed as Grade I by Cadw, and the surrounding land is listed as a Grade II landscape. This property should not be confused with nearby Trefeca College, although the histories of the two are intertwined.
