- Newton house near Brecon in Powys is an important Grade I listed 16th Century house which retains much of its original features including a screen, plasterwork, carvings and inscriptions. The house is built near the banks of the river Usk and is reached today via the Brecon Golf club. The current house was likely finished in 1582 as the seat of the Games (Gam) family of Breconshire, though the family were referred to by the epithet “of Newton” earlier, around 1545. This suggests that a house existed on the sight before the one that exists today which was rebuilt by John Games II in 1582. The house served as the seat of the Games family until the 1690s when it was inherited by the walker family, who extensively modernised it but sold it in 1725 to the Davies family. The house was in a state of neglect by 1851, and was severally rented out from 1880 to 2000, though it is still owned by the Davies today. (en)
