House & Family History: The U-shaped House, within a moat, was built by the Pulleston family in the 1660s, with additions in the 1720s (wings) and 1890s. In the early 20th century Emral was purchased by the Summers family, who sold it in 1936, after which the House was demolished. Clough Williams-Ellis purchased the Ballroom in 1936 at the Emral demolition sale and re-erected it as Hercules Hall in Portmeirion Town Hall. The Ballroom features a Jacobean barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling (depicting the labors of Hercules) and is today Grade II-listed.

Collections: The contents of Emral Hall were auctioned in 1936, prior to the House's demolition.

Garden & Outbuildings: The 3rd Duke of Westminster bought and removed the circa 1722 main gates and piers (now Grade II-listed) at the Emral Hall demolition sale and re-erected them at the entrance to St. Mary's Church, Eccleston, in 1957. The 200-acre estate is used for horse breeding (Emral Stud) and the House's former gardens are today a caravan park (Emral Gardens).

Chapel & Church: An armorial stained glass window and cross from the private chapel are now in St. Deiniol's Church, Worthenbury (designed by Richard Trubshaw).
