This edifice is supposed to stand upon the site of a palace, which, in
the eighth century, belonged to Roderic Mwynog, grandson to Cadwalader,
the last king of the Ancient Britons. It appears to have been rebuilt in
the reign of Henry VI.; and although it has been greatly altered of late,
the original design has been preserved. It is fronted with yellow brick,
which gives it the appearance of stone. The gateway into the park
resembles a Roman triumphal arch.
