Ddisgrifiad / Description | This was erected in 1650 and is in the form of a Pedigree of the Wynn family, listing their descent from the Princes of Gwynedd. Sir Richard Wynn died in 1649. He was the second son of Sir John Wynn and he inherited the Estate in 1627. He held appointments at the Court and was, in 1623, Queen Henrietta Maria's Treasurer. In 1625 he was appointed the Groom of the Bedchamber to the King. His defeat in the Caernarfonshire Election of 1620 marks the eclipse of the political power of the Wynns in the area.
