HISTORY
Wynnstay Hall was once the principal seat to one of the most powerful families in Welsh History, the Watkin Williams Wynns.
The family were major landowners and had great political and social influence in Wales. The first recorded property on the estate known as Watsay and was built in 1616. Over the coming centuries, Wynnstay Hall was enlarged and developed by the family.
Princess Victoria is believed to have stayed at the Hall in 1832. Part of the hall was rebuilt following a fire in 1858 in the French Renaissance chateau style by the renowned Benjamin Ferrey.
In 1944, the hall and 150 acres were sold to Lindisfarne College, a public school. The school closed in 1994 and the hall was redeveloped into what we see today.
One of the main features of Wynnstay Hall is its park and gardens, designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. In all, more than 140 estates were designed by him, and Wynnstay Hall Estate was his last.
Ground Rent: A peppercorn rent of a daffodil per annum.
