What is recorded here

Whitson Court is a castle in Newport, Wales. Perhaps its stones still hold the shape of hands that built them, waiting for someone to remember the weight of each brick. Maybe the courtyard swallowed a thousand ordinary evenings until it became a legend. Imagine walking past its gate with no name, no date and no warning, only the certainty that it has watched Newport grow around it.
Whitson Court is shown as a castle on the public map of Newport. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Whitson Court was built in the late 15th century by the Morgan family, a prominent local gentry family in the Newport area. It is remembered as a significant example of late medieval domestic architecture and as a historical landmark associated with the region's gentry history.
