What is recorded here

St Brides Castle is a 19th-century baronial mansion in Pembrokeshire that became Kensington Hospital in 1923, where sick bodies rested beside the bay. It has worn many masters, including the 5th Baron Kensington, before turning into holiday rooms. The change from private pride to medical care and back again suggests the house still believes it is useful, even if usefulness now means joy instead of treatment.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Brides Castle;Kensington Hospital as Recorded historic place 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.
St Brides Castle, also known as Kensington Hospital, is a Post Medieval structure recorded in the National Monuments Record of Wales, though specific builders or holders are not clearly identified.
