How many of Sir John Wynne's children were living at his 

 death cannot now be accurately known ; he had, however, by 

 Sidney daughter of Sir William Gerard, chancellor of Ireland, 

 eleven fons and two daughters u , 



Sir Richard Wynne, who became the eldeft fon upon the death 

 of his brother John, was one of the Grooms of the bedchamber to 

 Charles the Firft when Prince of Wales, and was appointed 

 afterwards Treafurer to Queen Henrietta. 



In 1633 Sir Richard built the chapel at Llanrwft, which is fup- 

 pofed by tradition to have been planned by Jones, and in 1636 the 

 bridge over the Conway at the end of the town, was completed. 

 This bridge is alio confidered as a work of Jones's, and is fo 

 elegant a ftructure that it fufficiently fpeaks itfelf to be the plan 

 of a mafterly architect V 



Having (fated the few circumftances which could be collected 

 with regard to the author, it may not be improper to mention,, 



u This appears by the infcription over the author's tomb at Llanrwfc. 

 A letter from Archbifhop William ftates, that feme of his elder fons were 

 promiling fcholars. 



In the Temple Church is a monument to Henry Wynn, one of the 

 eleven fons of Sir John Wynn of Gvvedir, Bart. This Henry Wynn 

 married Catherine the daughter and heirefs of Eltzei Lloyd, Efq. of Ru- 

 goch in Merioneth. He was Judge of the Marmalfea, Prothonotary of. 

 the N. W. Circuit, and Secretary to the Court of the Marches. He died 

 in 1671. See alfo N° 2129. p. 148 & feq. of the Harleian MSS. for 

 many infcription s on the tomb-ftones of the authors aneeftors in Llanrwft 

 church, which feem to have been copied about a century ago, and many 

 of which are now fcarcely legible. 



31 Mr.Panton hath informed me, from the records of theQuarter Sefnons 

 for Denbighlhire, that this bridge was direQed to be rebuilt in the 9th of 

 Car. I. by a letter from the Privy Council *, Jones being then furveyor 

 of the works, and having therefore probably procured this order in favour ' 

 of the place of his nativity. The eftimate amounted' to £. 1000. which., 

 was to be levied on the two counties of Denbigh and Carnarvon. 



*• A modern lawyer would probably difpute the legality of fuch a reqirifition,, .
