Provenance Background: Originally built in the late-seventeenth century as a mansion house for the Humphreys family, Bodelwyddan Castle was purchased in c1690 by Sir William Williams (1634-1700) The mansion remained largely unaltered throughout the eighteenth century The south-east front was altered in 1805 by Sir John Williams (First Baronet) who remodelled the house in the Greek Revival style and added a Doric loggia to the central bays of the south-east facade Further and more drastic alterations occurred under his son, Sir John Hay Williams (1794-1859) Under the architectural direction of Hansom and Welsh from the early 1830s to the early 1840s, the structure was enlarged and transformed into a nineteenth-century Gothic castle In c1860, the castle became the seat of a model estate under Lady Margaret Willoughby de Boke (daughter of Sir John Williams of Bodelwyddan Castle) Although the family's finances had become stretched by the late nineteenth century, in part owing to the decline of their lead mining interests, the house was further remodelled in 1876 by Sir William Grenville Williams The estate was sold in 1918 by Sir William Willoughby Williams.
