The National Botanic Garden of Wales is situated on land whose history as an estate stretches back over 400 years.
The estate derives its name from the Middleton family, from Chirk Castle near Oswestry, who built a mansion here in the early 1600s. Three generations later the estate passed, via marriage, to the Gwyn family of Gwempa who were eventually forced to sell Middleton Hall in 1776 to pay off debts.
