The mansion house became home to the marquesses of Londonderry, who owned extensive estates in the area. House and garden were later given to the town as a public park. The historical development of the site reflects that of the town. Type of Site Large house of several periods and small formal garden. Pleasure grounds partly remain as public park. Main Phases of Construction c. 1841-1900, c. 1948 - pleasure grounds as public park. SITE DESCRIPTION Plas Machynlleth stands on the southern edge of the ancient and historic town of Machynlleth set back off the Pentrerhedyn road behind a high stone wall on the north-west edge of a small park. The house faces east and south and it comprises a main central square rendered block of three storeys and four bays with a hipped slate roof. On the east, and entrance, front there is a large portico supported by five Ionic columns. Over the central two bays is a pediment set with a datestone of 1653. Small wings extend to the north-east and south-east of this block, the south-east wing being an elongated bay, an extension of the dining room. Sash French windows open out from this on to the garden beyond.

  • Winston Churchill and the Secret Irish Windfall That
    WINSTON CHURCHILL AND THE SECRET IRISH WINDFALL THAT PAID FOR CHARTWELL Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry, great-grandmother to Winston Churchill. Portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1818. In 1921, Winston Churchill inherited a financial windfall from a most unexpected source. The property and money came to him indirectly from Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry, (January 17, 1800 – January 20, 1865), who was the mother of Frances, 7th Duchess of Marlborough, and therefore Winston’s great-grandmother. Frances Anne was born in Lord Lichfield’s house, St. James’s Square, London, the only child of Anne Catherine MacDonnell, 2nd Countess of Antrim, Ireland (February 11, 1778-June 30, 1834) and Sir Henry Vane-Tempest 2nd Baronet 1 (January 1, 1771-August 1, 1813). Frances Anne wrote of a miserable childhood, saying she was badly treated, her parents never got on, and she was constantly in the charge of a governess. She said her own dreadful experience was ‘to make me determined never to strike or terrify a child.’[1] In 1819, Frances Anne married (as his second wife) Charles William Stewart, 1st Baron Stewart, (May 18, 1778-March 6, 1854), who was obliged by a demand of her father to change his surname to hers. Charles was over 20 years her senior and was most probably a father figure to the 19-year-old, but theirs was a happy marriage. She made up for the loneliness of having been an only child by bearing six children, three boys and three girls, as well as taking on the deceased first wife’s son as her stepson.
