Eriviat Hall is a historic country house set in a 9-acre estate in Henllan, Denbighshire, United Kingdom, which was the home of the Ffoulkes family and their descendants from the Middle Ages until the early twentieth century. The property is now privately owned by a British businessman.
History
Eriviat was associated with the Foulkes family for over 10 generations from the Middle Ages. One of the first owners was Ednyfed ap Goronwy Llwyd (fl.1457). His son was Einion Llwyd. Ednyfed's great-great-grandson was Thomas ap Goronwy (fl.1524–45) whose son, ffoulke ap Thomas ap Goronwy (fl.1539–73), provided the family with its original name, Foulkes.
The estate passed through several generations until the death of Robert ffoulkes in 1728. His brother Peter's fifth son, John ffoulkes (1699–1758), also acquired by marriage the Rhydonen estate in Llantysilio, Denbighshire, through his marriage with Catherine, daughter and heir of Henry Roberts.
Later owners included John ffoulkes (1736–1814), John Powell ffoulkes (1770–1826) and John Jocelyn ffoulkes (1813–58) whose second daughter Edith Caroline married P.H. Humberston of Glan y Wern, Denbighshire.{{Cite web|title=Foulkes family, of Eriviat - National Library of Wales Archives and Manuscripts|url=https://archives.library.wales/index.php/foulkes-family-of-eriviat|access-date=2021-03-30|website=archives.library.wales}} It has hosted the actor Kit Harington amongst others such as Kiell Smyth- Bynoa of "Ghosts" fame .{{Cite web|last=Ridout|first=Joanne|date=2020-02-21|title=Inside the Welsh mansion that once hosted a Game of Thrones star's stag do|url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/welsh-homes/inside-welsh-mansion-once-hosted-17788529|access-date=2021-03-30|website=WalesOnline|language=en}}{{Cite web|last=Strum|first=Beckie|title=Hang Your Hat at This Grand Welsh Country House, Asking £1.5M|url=https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/hang-your-hat-at-this-grand-welsh-country-house-asking-1-65m-212278|access-date=2021-03-30|website=www.mansionglobal.com|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|last=Hudspith|first=Jaymelouise|last2=Knox|first2=Susan|date=2020-05-09|title=Take a virtual tour inside mansion Game of Thrones star hired for stag do|url=https://www.dailypost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/virtual-tour-game-thrones-kit-18162463|access-date=2021-03-30|website=North Wales Live|language=en}}
