Nanteos House is now a hotel and mansion house. This 1738 Georgian house, built by William Powell, was once the home of The Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail is the wooden cup that Jesus and his Disciples drank from during The Last Supper. The cup was brought back from The Holy Land by Joseph of Arimathea in AD63. The cup remained at Glastonbury Monastery until 1539 when King Henry chased out the monks. In time The Holy Grail passed to Nanteos House and the Powell family, and when the family line finished the cup was deposited in a national Bank vault.
There are a number of Ghosts that roam the rooms of Nanteos House, such as the ‘Jewel Lady’ who left her death bed to hide her jewels, and now her spirit searches for them! And in the dark cold cellars there is the observed spectre of a monk, further, there is a report in The Western Mail of the 19th of June 1984 that tells of a male ghost in a black cloak!
