“Plas Bodegroes, a Grade II-listed property on the Llŷn Peninsula dating back to the 1780s, [has been renamed] as Bromfield Hall”
Seems the house was never renamed officially, but a marketing agent decided that clients would struggle with the Welsh name so advertised it with an English one.
Given they market it as near Abersoch and the typical Abersoch aficionado… I can understand how they came to that decision.
Looks like they’ve gone back to it now.
It’s not really been renamed eg with the Council and the Post Office, they just use a pretend name on the booking website to stop people searching for it. Not sure “cultural appropriation” is the right term used by the journalist either. Loss of a decent restaurant that probably employed a few people to a party house seems a bigger issue to me.
Accommodate, Accommodate, Accommodate…
This is bullshit.
I’m betting every prospective client can pronounce ‘Worcestershire’
Chapel near llanfyllin,bethel now called le chappelle are they taking the piss
How dare the owners of a building decide what it’s called or how to market it!
This rage baiting is little better than the Daily Mail complaining about a church that has been converted into a mosque changing its name.
It hasn’t been “stripped” of anything. The people whose house it is have changed its name on their advertising.
Accurate headline: nobody cares as estate agent invents more marketable name on website for Welsh property – registered name remains unchanged.
