Bought in the mid-Victorian era by Edward John Trelawny, a friend of notable poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he extensively redeveloped the gardens as a then modern pleasure gardens through extensive terracing. After his death, new owner Joseph Lister employed architect Alfred Waterhouse to rebuild the property as a picturesque large cottage manor house. After his death in 1885 in a riding accident on the estate, it was bought by Gustavus Ducarel, the 4th Marquis de la Pasture.[3] His family had fled to England post the French Revolution, and although his father had by this time regained control of the family estate at Montreuil-sur-Mer, they lived mainly at the close-by Llandogo Priory.[1] After World War I, with the estate virtually abandoned by the now again fully French-resident family, in 1925 the entire estate was annexed to Pontypool Hospital, and after redevelopment opened on 3 October 1925 as the "Kate Ayres Gustard Convalescent Home", providing care for up to 24 women and children.[2] Used from September 1939 as a child evacuation centre in the phoney war leading up to World War II, it then became a war casualty convalescence unit. Post war, in 1947 it was reopened as a maternity hospital, with accommodation for up to 18 patients.[3] During the early hours of 14 September 1973,[7] only two weeks after a fire inspection, a fire consumed the entire main property. As today, only the stable block survived (now home to a protected roost of bats), and the patients resultantly transferred to County Hospital in Griffithstown.[3] PresentAs the house and estate fell into ruin, the surrounding lands and resultant naturally developed wood were bought at auction in 2007 by Coed Cadw.[4] The site is located a few miles away from Wentwood Forest, which is the largest ancient woodland site in Wales.[5] Since taking ownership, Coed Cadw have since planted an additional 36,000 broadleaf trees. The long term plan is to develop a mosaic of habitats, from grasslands through wild flower meadows to an arboretum, which will be a combination of the original Victorian planting, local heritage fruit trees, plus new broadleaf varieties. The wildlife within the parklands includes a maternity roost for bats, and habitats for a number of birds including Song Thrush and Marsh Tit. Today the site is a Cadw designated Historic Park and Garden, and a priority habitat under the United Kingdom Biodiversity Action Plan.[11] Coed Cadw are working with the Usk Rural Life Museum, to record and communicate the history of the site to visitors. In April 2014, the trust received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £297,700,[6] to enable formal visitor groups and educational institutes to visit a fully restored walled garden and developed woodlands, together with associated visitor facilities.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.starcourse.org/emd/mrs_h.htm|title=Mrs Henry de la Pasture (from Auberon Waugh's foreword to The Unlucky Family)|publisher=StarCourse.org|accessdate=24 April 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bikebrothers.co.uk/cefnilabook.html|title=Book commemorating the opening of "Kate Ayres Gustard Convalescent Home", 3 October 1925|publisher=BikeBrothers.co.uk|accessdate=24 April 2014}}{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.bikebrothers.co.uk/cefnila.htm|title=Cefn Ila Maternity Hospital|publisher=BikeBrothers.co.uk|accessdate=24 April 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://archive.is/20140425150344/http://www.bikebrothers.co.uk/cefnila.htm|archivedate=25 April 2014|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://wales.gov.uk/topics/environmentcountryside/forestry/plantatree/visitplantsite/coedcefnila/?lang=en|title=Coed Cefn Ila|publisher=Welsh Government|date=31 October 2013|accessdate=24 April 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/wood-information/cefn-ila/|title=More about Cefn Ila|publisher=Woodland Trust|accessdate=24 April 2014}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.hlf.org.uk/news/Pages/DiscoveringCefnIla%E2%80%99sHabitats,HospitalsandHistory.aspx|title=Discovering Cefn Ila’s habitats, hospitals and history|publisher=Heritage Lottery Fund|date=22 April 2014|accessdate=24 April 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426214539/http://www.hlf.org.uk/news/Pages/DiscoveringCefnIla%E2%80%99sHabitats%2CHospitalsandHistory.aspx|archivedate=26 April 2014|df=dmy-all}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-27114007|title=Cefn Ila woodland site boost by £297,700 heritage grant|publisher=BBC Wales|date=24 April 2014|accessdate=24 April 2014}} External links
