==History== Warfield Hall was originally built in the 1730s and belonged to the Hart, later the Hart-Cotton, family. It passed by marriage to the Parry family of Denbighshire and passed down in that family until sold in 1831 to General Sir John Malcolm on his return from India.<ref> {{cite book|title=The history of the princes, the lords marcher, and the ancient nobility of Powys Fadog, and the ancient lords of Arwystli, Cedewen, and Meirionydd|page=245|url= http://www.mocavo.com/The-History-of-the-Princes-the-Lords-Marcher-and-the-Ancient-Nobility-of-Powys-Fadog-and-the-Ancient-Lords-of-Arwystli-Cedewen-and-Meirionydd-Volume-5/574893/257#245}} </ref> He described it as "a large three-storey mansion, built in the 1730s, with ten bedrooms, stabling, a paddock, an orangery, a well-wooded park with a two-acre lake, a fine garden with a terrace, kitchen garden and outhouses".
