History
Although it was the 2nd Lord Newborough who laid out the kitchen gardens, and the easternmost of these, adjacent to this courtyard, was finished before 1824, this arched entrance and screen wall may have been added by Hon F G Wynn c1897 at the time when he was converting the Palm House.
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.
Exterior
Short section of rubble wall closing this small courtyard. Pointed arched entrance with brick voussoirs, iron gates and a large draped urn finial. On the inner (north) side there is a further smaller archway into potting sheds.
Interior
Reason for designation
Included for group value with neighbouring C19 garden structures and for historic association with Glynllifon and this especially well-preserved estate group.
