Baskerville and Jackson and Shiffner families were associated with Pontrilas for 150 years they were related to each other by marriage. Pontrilas Court was once part of a larger estate amounting to more than 1,330 acres in five Herefordshire parishes which included Pontrilas Farm, Mill and Forge together with other houses, farms and land.The property has been known from 1881 as Pontrilas Court but previously known as ‘the mansion house’ and ‘Pontrilas House’. Until 1840, when it was split into smaller holdings it was part of a larger estate with land in five Herefordshire parishes. It was put up for sale again in 1919.
