What is recorded here

Boughrood Castle is a late Georgian country house built in 1817 by Francis Fowke, who likely funded it with corrupt East India Company earnings from Bengal. The house stands near the site of an older castle, passed through debt, sale and changing owners before becoming a private residence rather than a public monument. Its history is less about grandeur than survival: a wealthy man, a strained family, and a house kept in use long after its first pride faded.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Boughrood Castle as Country House 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.

Boughrood Castle was a Post Medieval country house, likely built by a local gentry family in the 16th or 17th century. It is remembered as part of Wales' broader historic landscape, reflecting the evolution of domestic architecture and landholding during that period.
