The estate became especially wealthy from the seventeenth century on the profits from lead mining, which is when the house was constructed.

The NCC created 12 Welsh Areas of Search; they mostly follow county borders, but the larger counties (Dyfed, Powys and Gwynedd) were divided into multiple Areas using district borders.
