History

Working-dog kennel range. Bodorgan was one of a number of townships from which the Bishop of Bangor derived his income, and is first recorded in 1306. The estate forms the Anglesey seat of the Meyrick family, whose ancestors were tenants from late C14, the surname first documented in 1537. The estate expanded from the early C18 onwards, and by late C19 was the largest on the island. The main house (built 1779-83) was designed by John Cooper, architect of Beaumaris, who also designed some of the outbuildings, built in 1782. A building is shown on this site on the Tithe map of 1843, although it is not clear if this is the same building as the present one.

Exterior

Range of 5 kennels with narrow monopitch building to rear (NE); walled and railed runs to front. Built of rubble masonry with large lintels and gritstone quoins; slate roof and eaves course. End and side walls are also rubble, front walls are brick-built, surmounted by iron railings; access to runs via tall iron gates with plain rails, recessed boarded doors to each kennel.
