Nerquis Hall

Nerquis Hall was constructed for John Wynne (of the Welsh Wynne family) in 1638, with the interior likely completed afterwards in 1640. Part of a larger estate, the hall is a two-storey brick and sandstone structure and is largely intact.{{Cite web|title=English|url=https://coflein.gov.uk/en/|access-date=2021-11-20|website=Coflein|language=en}} Refurbishments to the property were notably undertaken in the late 18th century by John Giffard, who added an east and west wing to the property in 1797. However, these alterations were later demolished when the estate was sold in the 1960s, with only the ground floor of the east wing remaining untouched. Though not open to the public, the interior is noted as having a 19th-century Gothic style.

Owned by John Wynne, Nerquis Hall was passed down to his son Robert in 1643 and then through his family line until its sale in the 1960s.{{Cite web|title=Nerquis Hall Estate Records, - National Library of Wales Archives and Manuscripts|url=https://archifau.llyfrgell.cymru/index.php/nerquis-hall-estate-records|access-date=2021-11-20|website=archifau.llyfrgell.cymru}} Documents from 1873, when the estate was owned by Phillips Lloyd Fletcher, estimate the size as 3,877 acres. Part of the properties wider significance is that some original documents from its 17th-century construction have survived, for example detailing the contracted work of carpenter Evan Jones. These records are now kept at the National Library of Wales.

Nerquis Hall is located within a larger estate and 18th-century formal ornamental gardens.{{Cite web|last=Gardens (en)|first=Parks and|title=Nerquis Hall - Mold|url=https://www.parksandgardens.org/places/nerquis-hall|access-date=2021-11-20|website=Parks & Gardens|language=en}} Many other structures within the estate are Grade II listed buildings, including but not limited to:
