HistoryThe castle was bought from the Humphreys by Sir William Williams, Speaker in the House of Commons from 1680–1681.[3] Further refurbishment work was carried out in the 1880s by Sir Herbert, 7th Baronet, who inherited Bodelwyddan Castle from his heirless cousin.By the First World War the house had become a recuperation hospital for wounded soldiers. During this time, the grounds of the estate were used by soldiers based at the nearby Kinmel Camp for trench warfare training.[6] Traces of these trenches can still be seen. Lowther CollegeBy 1920, the cost of maintaining the castle and estate had grown too burdensome, and the Williams-Wynn family leased Bodelwyddan to Lowther College, a girls private school. The school was formed in 1896 at Lytham St. Annes in Lancashire, by Mrs Florence Morris (later Lindley).[7] Lowther College purchased the property five years later, in 1925.[5] The school is thought to be one of the first private schools for girls to have its own swimming pool. It also had a private golf course. The Lowther College Tableaux were well regarded within the community for their musical excellence. Boys were admitted from 1977. The school closed in 1982 due to financial problems.[8] Museum and arts centreIn the 1980s, the site was bought by Clwyd County Council with the aim of developing the castle as a visitor attraction. Partnerships were formed with the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts, so that the castle could be used to display objects from these collections. In order to house these items, the interior of the castle was restored by Roderick Gradidge, an expert on Victorian architecture. Part of the site was leased to the Rank Organisation in 1994 for development into a luxury hotel, Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel,[9] and is now run by Warners, who are part of the Bourne Leisure. The historic house and grounds are not part of the hotel but are managed by Bodelwyddan Castle Trust, an independent registered charity,[10] and are open to the public. The castle's association with the National Portrait Gallery came to an end in 2017 after its funding was cut by Denbighshire County Council.[11] GardensThe castle is set within a large area of parkland, and formal gardens, the most recent of which was originally designed by Thomas Hayton Mawson in 1910.[12] Bodelwyddan Castle GallerySee also
