History

Gelligatti was owned by the Vaughans of Golden Grove from the C17, passing to the Earls of Cawdor. It is a farmhouse of unusual scale, part of a late C19 model farm. Lord Cawdor employed J W Poundley of Montgomeryshire for model farm buildings elsewhere on the estate, and he may have been the architect here
