Summary
[edit]DescriptionFferm Plas Du - geograph.org.uk - 1778724.jpg |
English: Fferm Plas Du Plas Du (=black manor house) was designed in the late medieval period as a gentleman's residence for Owen ap Gruffydd, a descendant of Collwyn ap Tangno. Owen ap Gruffydd's sons, who took the surname Owen, become prominent supporters of the Old Faith following Elizabeth's excommunication. The eldest, Thomas Owen, High Sheriff of Caernarvonshire, was imprisoned in Caernarvon Castle for recusancy and his brother Hugh, escaping to the continent after his part in the unsuccessful Ridolfi Plot remained an arch conspirator for the rest of his life, running a network of secret agents from his base in Antwerp.He was to become involved in the Gun Powder Plot. Two other sons, Robert and John, were educated as priests at Douai seminary.
Thomas Owen's son, John, was a Latin epigramist whose work was translated into a number of European languages. He was buried in old St Paul's Cathedral, London which was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Impoverished by events the Owens were forced from the estate in the 17thC. http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/s-OWEN-PLA-1550.html |
