Llanarth court.

Llanarth Court, Llanarth, is a late-18th-century country house with substantial 19th-century alterations in Monmouthshire, Wales. The court was built for the Jones family of Treowen, Monmouthshire and was subsequently the home of Ivor Herbert, 1st Baron Treowen, whose family still owns much of the Llanarth estate, although not the court itself.
 The entrance porch, has been removed. The court was re-built in 1849–50 for the Herbert family by W. G. and E. Habershon, The interior has been modernised and institutionalised and contains "little of either the later eighteenth or the mid-nineteenth centuries". The court is now a private hospital for mental patients. We have decided to film just outside of the court with it in the background, as we discovered a cornfield just infront of it, therefore adding to our mis-en-scene of a phsyciatric hospital setting.
