Property removed from Voelas, North Wales on the instructions of the Wynne-Finch family. Lots (838-877) and (379, 499, 812, 813, 957 and 958) The Wynnes of Voelas and Cefnamwlch are amongst the most ancient families of North Wales deriving ultimately from Marchweithian of the 11^th century, one of the founders of the noble tribes of Wales. He was a lord of the greater part of the Vale of Clwyd and the country about the lower Aled, between Denbigh and Llanrwst. In the late 15^th century a descendant, ‘Rhys Fawr’ so called because of his great stature, became famous when he was entrusted by Henry VII with the Royal standard of England at the Battle of Bosworth Field after the death of Sir William Brandon. He received from King Henry VII the augmentation of the Rose of Lancaster and the lions paw borne in his crest. His grandson Cadwaladr was granted Voelas by Henry VIII in 1545. His descendant Jane Wynne (1747-1811) married in 1778 the Hon. Charles Finch, second son of Heneage Finch, 3^rd Earl of Aylesford and grandson of Charles 6^th Duke of Somerset. The ancient rambling house in which they lived was replaced in the 1860s. This house was in turn replaced in 1958 by Clough Williams-Ellis’ present neo-classical mansion.
