Palé Hall

[edit]

Palé Hall was built in 1871, on the site of an older manor house in Llandderfel. It was designed by Samuel Pountney Smith of Shrewsbury for Henry Robertson MP, a railway engineer and local landowner.[2] The house was used as a military hospital in World War I and a home for evacuated children in World War II. The Robertson family sold the estate to the Duke of Westminster in the 1950s.[3]

The church of St Derfel

[edit]

The parish church of Llandderfel (Saint Dervel) is part of the diocese of St Asaph and is mentioned in the Papal Registers of the late 15th century.[4] The poet Dewi Havhesp is buried at Llandderfel church yard. There are sheep that graze in the church yard.

A Celtic Llan site, founded in the early 6th century by Saint Derfel, the church was rebuilt probably in the early 16th century. A large wooden image of the saint was sent to London in 1538 and burned with John Forest in Smithfield, however the now headless carved red stag and staff are still preserved within the porch.[5][6]

Governance

[edit]

An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward stretches beyond the confines of Llandderfel with a population taken at the 2011 census of 1,511.[7]
