History

The seat is in an C18 Kentian style, and possibly of that date, and was placed in the SW garden when it was laid out, either contemporary with the later remodelling of Vaynol Hall, or in 1913 when there are references in the Estate Papers to 'Garden Alterations'.

Exterior

Of limestone. Segmental in shape supported on 3 winged dragons, and with a balustraded back rest with console stops.

Reasons for Listing

Included as an important element in the design of the SW garden; part of the classicising setting of Vaynol Hall.
