RCAHMW 2013.

Glanywern was built as a residential house in the 19th century. It is first seen in the Tithe map of 1841. Overtime the building was renovated and extended numerous times. By the late 20th century, it was converted into the Glanwern care home complex. The modern-day building differs quite moderately to its original layout of the 19th century. Most of the original features of the 19th century building are likely only seen in windows, some doorways, and staircase locations.
