Summary[edit]

Description
English: Foxhall Medieval farmhouse with a ha-ha in front. This was the family home of Humphrey Llwyd, a man described by the Bible translator William Salesbury as 'the Welshman most universally learned in history, and most singularly skilled in rare subtleties.'His chief claim to the fame is his pioneering map of Wales. This was sent from Denbigh - where Llwyd lay dying, aged forth-one, of a fever caught in London - to the Antwerp publisher Ortelius. It appeared in 1573 in Ortelius' famous world atlas - Theatrum Orbis Terrarum - the first map of Wales ever published.
