History

An Edwardian sundial first shown on the Ordnance Survey of 1914, added to the earlier terraces of the formal garden S of the house erected in 1893.

Talygarn was purchased by G T Clark, the prominent industrialist and antiquary, in 1865. The present house retains the core of an earlier house and was built mainly 1879-82 with further important additions in 1892-4 and the early C20. The gardens and park were laid out from 1877 with formal gardens to the S, W and N of the house, and with informal woodland grounds centred on a lake to the S of the house.

Exterior

A shaped sundial of reconstituted stone standing on an octagonal stepped plinth of sandstone. The stem has twisted fluting while the polygonal head is in the form of a crocket capital. The gnomon is now missing.
