Rear of the Argoed at Penallt A lovely Victorian country house above the Wye Valley, once owned by Robert Plant, lead singer of Led Zeppelin, who recorded some albums at nearby Rockfield Studios in the 1980's. 

It has since been owned by a branch of my family (a great grandfather in common) who prospered in a chain of sports shops and other business interests I believe.
