From the Wikipedia article
Trostrey Court House, Trostrey, Monmouthshire is a late 16th century gentry house. The current building replaced an earlier medieval court. The house played a role in the English Civil War when it was seized by the forces of Thomas Fairfax during the siege of Raglan Castle. In the 18th century the estate was sold to Valentine Morris, owner of nearby Piercefield House. In the 19th century the court was owned by the Fluyders, but let to tenant farmers. It remains a private house and working estate. The court is a Grade II* listed building.

Background
History
The current house dates from the 1580s, and was built by a John David Powell, to replace the earlier, medieval manor house which stood on the site. The Powells subsequently took on the surname Jones and a descendant, Jane Jones, married Charles Hughes of Moynes Court, near Chepstow. The current owner, David Morgan MBE is the president of the Usk Rural Life Museum.
