The Argoed, Penallt
The Argoed, Penallt, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a Victorian country house dating from the 1860s, with earlier origins from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It is a Grade II
* listed building, and sits on a hill above Monmouth overlooking the Wye Valley. The English meaning of the Welsh word ''argoed'' is 'by a wood'.
==History==
In the 17th century the house was the home of the Proberts, local landowners and High Sheriffs of Monmouthshire. Richard Potter, Chairman of the Great Western Railway and father of Beatrice Webb, bought the house in 1865 and undertook extensive rebuilding.〔 Beatrice Webb was a founder member of the Fabian Society and, in the later 19th and early 20th centuries, she entertained many prominent friends at the Argoed, including George Bernard Shaw.〔 Shaw is rumoured to have written his plays ''The Man of Destiny'' and ''Mrs. Warren's Profession'' whilst staying at the house. In the 1980s, the Argoed was owned by Robert Plant,〔 of the rock band Led Zeppelin.
