A brief history...

Ravenspoint was built c. 1918 by Sir Henry Grayson, who had previously built a house across the bay, later to become the Trearddur Bay Hotel. He is believed to have lived on Anglesey, so it may have been a family home for his wife, 12 children and 14 dogs. The house was the first in the area to have electricity, as it had its own generator, which charged a large bank of batteries, housed in the Battery House, now Victoria Lodge. For many years it had the only private telephone in the bay - Trearddur Bay 2. Family life there was vividly described by Nicholas Monsarrat in his autobiography, My Brother Denys.

Much of the history of Ravenspoint is uncertain at present. It is believed that it became a girls' school c. 1938, and then a billet for USAF airmen during the Second World War. Following the War it became a hotel, and was sold as such in 1953, as part of a sale of the Grayson estate, to John Bibby, who leased it out as a hotel until it was sold again in 1966. From 1957 to 1964 it was managed by Mr. and Mrs. G.F.G. Rivaz.

Because it was only sold once in its history of occupancy, and because nearly all of the furnishings and garden ornaments were included in that sale, it was unusual in that it remained unaltered, and so retained its unique look and feel for almost its entire existence.

In 1966 it was sold to Michael Brooks, a property developer, who had it demolished and built the houses that now stand in its place.
