WHAT IS LLANRUMNEY HALL COMMUNITY TRUST?

 

Llanrumney Hall Community Trust is a registered charity whose mission is to ensure the survival of Llanrumney Hall for current and future generations. As an important historical site, LHCT recognised that the building and its heritage could have been lost as it was in a severe state of disrepair. After securing sponsorship from the Welsh Government -Communities Facility Programme, WCVA European Regional Development Fund and other matched funding, we were able to save and transform The Hall.

​

This was a massive feat and was only achievable with the right support. Llanrumney Hall Community Trust is eternally grateful to Viridor Credits, who sponsored the fully accessible lift, Cardiff County Council and Steve Borley of CMB Engineering for their valued contributions.  We were able to refurbish The Hall and transform the derelict site into a wonderful community centre and social enterprise.  LHCT will never forget the guidance we received from Wales Coop, The Development Trust Association, local community members, local Counsellors and volunteers who backed the re-development and our continuous provision.

​

HOW OLD IS LLANRUMNEY HALL?

 

Llanrumney Hall was built circa 1450 on the foundations of a chapel which dates back to 1066, hence the name Llanrumney as ‘Llan’ means Chapel in Welsh.  Llanrumney Hall is a Grade ll* listed building and is believed to be the birthplace of Captain Henry Morgan (born 1635).  The Hall was a stately home until 1952 when Cardiff Council acquired the premises and surrounding land. Through 1950 to the 2000’s the building formerly posed as a remand home, a hotel and a public house, until finally becoming a community centre in 2019.
