Llanerchaeron
House in Aberaeron, Ceredigion / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Llanerchaeron, pronunciationⓘ known as "Llanayron[2] House" to its nineteenth-century occupants, is a grade I listed mansion on the River Aeron, designed and built in 1795[3] by John Nash for Major (later Colonel) William Lewis as a model self-sufficient farm complex located near Ciliau Aeron, some 2+1⁄2 miles south-east of Aberaeron, Ceredigion, Wales. There is evidence that the house replaced an earlier mansion. A later owner, William Lewes, was the husband of Colonel Lewis's inheriting daughter.[4]

The estate is now in the care of the National Trust. The gardens and the parkland are listed on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The neighbouring parish church of St Non – also redesigned by Nash – has registers of baptisms and burials dating from 1730 and marriages from 1754.[5]
