History
The seat is in an C18 Kentian style, and possibly of that date, and was placed in the SW garden when it was laid out, either contemporary with the later remodelling of Vaynol Hall, or in 1913 when there are references in the Estate Papers to 'Garden Alterations'.
Exterior
Of limestone. Segmental in shape supported on 3 winged dragons, and with a balustraded back rest with console stops.
Reasons for Listing
