Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Sir Watkin Williams Wynn (1693-1749)
HUDSON, Thomas (1701-1779)
Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn (1693-1749) 3rd baronet, assumed the name Wynn in 1719 on inheriting the estate of Wynnstay, Denbighshire, where he sat as MP almost uninterruptedly from 1716 until 1749. A Tory and a Jacobite, his popularity and wealth gave him great influence in the North of Wales. His son of the same name, was more interested in the arts than in politics. Hudson was a fashionable London portraitist who produced polished formal likenesses.
