History
Dating from around 1790, Elwy Bank is a distinguished Grade II listed Georgian townhouse*, originally serving as a High Street bank before being converted into a private residence. Beyond its elegant proportions and period character, the property holds particular cultural significance for its extraordinary murals, thought to have been painted by Hugh Hughes c.1825. These remarkable works depict nine portraits of prominent figures of the early 19th century. Among them is a portrait long believed to be Handel but now thought to depict Henry Hayden, organist of St Asaph Cathedral for 25 years and likely patron of the paintings. Hayden composed the thanksgiving anthem for Trafalgar Day, which may explain the inclusion of Admiral Lord Nelson (1758–1805), celebrated hero of the Battle of Trafalgar. Other figures include the Duke and Duchess of Kent, whose daughter Victoria would become Queen, and Reginald Heber (1783–1826) Standing beside him is his father-in-law, Dr William Shipley, Dean of St Asaph, who is commemorated in the Cathedral by a marble sculpture he himself commissioned. Together, these portraits form a nationally important artistic and historical record, making Elwy Bank not only a characterful Georgian home but also a property of exceptional cultural value.
