What is recorded here

Elwy Block stands as a post-medieval outbuilding beside Bodelwyddan Castle in Denbighshire, Wales. It is not the main castle but a separate structure recorded in the national monument list. The distinction matters because people often throw one name at every stone on the estate. Elwy Block has its own identity and should keep it.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Bodelwyddan Castle, Elwy Block as Outbuilding from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Bodelwyddan Castle, Elwy Block was built in the early 17th century as part of the original Bodelwyddan Castle by Sir John Wynn of Gwydir. It is remembered as an example of early 17th-century domestic architecture in north Wales and for its later use as a military and administrative building during the 19th and 20th centuries.
