Here’s a powerful real-life love and history story. 🌍✨
Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby became famous in the 18th century for escaping strict family expectations in Ireland and building a shared life together in Wales. 🏡
In 1778, they left behind their aristocratic lives and defied social pressure to live together at Plas Newydd in Llangollen. Their home became a symbol of independence, curiosity, and emotional companionship that lasted over 50 years. 🌿
They were visited by poets, nobles, and even historical figures like Wordsworth and the Duke of Wellington, turning their quiet cottage into a place of legend. 📚
Their story is often remembered today as one of devotion, resistance to social norms, and a deep bond that fascinated Europe for decades . 🤯

Plas Newydd, the welsh name for many large houses built in recent centuries (in English ‘new hall’) was the home of the Two Ladies of Llangollen in Denbighshire in north of Wales.
As LGBTQ History Month draws to a close, #today we just made it in time to visit the home of Eleanor and Sarah though their house & the crocus covered garden we saw there today would not have been recognised by the famous couple circa 1800.
