History

Part of the 3rd Lord Newborough’s additions to the grounds contemporary with his rebuilding of the house 1836-48. This was one of three fountains he built along the C18 vista on this eastern side of the house - another being that at the end of the vista and the third does not survive.

Glynllifon was the seat of the Wynn family and Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Lord Newborough in 1776. The house was rebuilt after a fire 1836-48 by Edward Haycock, architect of Shrewsbury. Influence for some of the garden features came from the family’s grand tours.

Exterior

Low circular brick-lined pool with stone border and trilobed base for a now lost fountain figure to the centre.
