History+

The mansion was built between 1684 and 1687 for Joshua Edisbury, then High Sheriff of Denbighshire. In 1714, the estate passed to John Meller, who extended it with two wings in the 1720s and carried out renovations. After Meller's death in 1733, his nephew Simon Yorke inherited the mansion, which then remained in the Yorke family for generations. A nearby coal mine caused a subsidence that affected the building's structure. Following restoration work, funded by compensation payments and the sale of part of the park, the Yorke family handed over the mansion to the National Trust in 1973. Prince Charles officially opened Erddig Hall to the public in 1977.
