Powell family of Nanteos, Lords of the manor of Aberystwyth, associated with the Nanteos estate and lordship of Llanbadarn Fawr
Dates: Documented as the relevant lordly family from the early eighteenth century; the precise acquisition date after 1660 is unresolved
Biography
The Powell family became the principal landed family of the Nanteos estate in Cardiganshire. Their archival records include direct evidence of their lordship and legal interest in Aberystwyth manor and borough.
Notes / Sources
This is a corporate-family holding entry because the available evidence does not establish a complete individual succession for the manor itself.
