Erddig and the Yorke family

Erddig and the Yorke family

Erddig House and gardens date back to 1684 and remained in the same family until 1973, when Philip Yorke III entrusted the house and gardens to the National Trust. The house had become neglected and was in urgent need of restoration, which took four years to complete. In 1973 he was interviewed for a television documentary in which he reflects on his family's connection to the hall.
