Wynnstay
near Ruabon, Denbighshire - Baronet Williams-Wynn
"This place, in the fifteenth century, formed part of the estates of John ap Ellis Eyton,
who fought at the battle of Bosworth. From the Eytons the estate passed by marriage to a family
of the name of Evans, and from them, by the marriage of Jane, daughter and heiress of
Eyton Evans, with Sir John Wynn, MP for Merionethshire, to the Wynns.
Sir John died without issue in 1719, and left his large possessions to his kinsman,
Watkin, eldest son of Sir William Williams, who thereupon assumed the additional
surname of Wynn.
The new mansion which has arisen upon the ruins of the old house, destroyed by fire in 1858,
is in the style of one of the old French palaces, from the design of B. Ferrey, Esq."
