Where does George fit in? In his 1944 book Pleasant Land of Gwent, Fred Hando describes Kemeys Folly and the ancient Kemeys House, the home of George Kemeys, near Caerleon. At the house he mentions a stone potrait of George dated 1623, scores of long pegs high on the wall (that were used for stretching harp strings), an impressisve staircase, a ceiling with Jacobean srap-work plaster and "many good Tudor windows". The great barn, opposite the house, had a stone inscribed "1597 E. XXXIX R." Originally the house had a stream running through it. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:28, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Incidentally, Google shows that it once operated as a restaurant but appears not to do so now. You don’t happen to know? And thanks for the Hando tip, I shall add that. Archdeacon Coxe also saw the folly so I shall try to add that in. KJP1 (talk) 12:28, 30 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
