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.
Interior
Reason for designation
Included for group value for its proximity to Glynllifon House and its context as one of many water features within this exceptionally good landscaped park.
