Iscoyd Park has a rich and varied history with a string of colourful owners over the centuries.
The house, as it is seen today, dates back to 1737. However, parts of the house date back to 1700 and there was certainly a dwelling there some centuries before that.
In the 14th century the estate was owned by the heirs of Iorweth Voel, Lord Maelor Saesneg. It then passed by marriage to the Roydens of Holt. In the 17th century the Jennings family lived at Iscoyd and in 1737 William Hanmer, who had married the Jennings heiress of Gopsal, Leicestershire, built the front part of the house. It was then sold to Rev Richard Congreve in 1780.
Philip Lake Godsal, who was the son of the leading coachmaker of the time (also surprisingly named Philip Godsal) bought the house in 1843. The Godsal family have, by the skin of their teeth, been at Iscoyd Park pretty much ever since!
