Nerquis (Nercwys) Hall was built by John Wynn in 1637-1638. It is suggested that he was descended from the Wynn family of Llanarmon-yn-Iâl, Denbighshire. . The Nerquis estate descended almost continually on the female side. John Wynn, the builder of Nerquis Hall, whose acquisitions of land in the neighbourhood formed the basis of the estate, was succeeded by his third son, Robert, who married Jane Goodman of Ruthin in 1643. The estate then passed to his eldest daughter, Anne, wife of Thomas Pynder, their son Paul having died unmarried.
The Nerquis estate then descended on the heirs of Robert Wynn's second daughter, Mary Williams, and on the death of her son, Edward in 1737, to her daughter Elizabeth, wife of Robert Hyde of Cattenhall, Cheshire. Their only daughter, Elizabeth, married John Giffard of Plas Ucha, Nercwys, in 1765. The Giffard family were staunch Roman Catholics and a dispute regarding the education of their daughters ensued. On the death of Elizabeth Hyde the dispute was resolved, and the estate passed to John Giffard's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, who died unmarried in 1842. She bequeathed the estate to the Rev. Maurice Wynn, who, in turn, bequeathed it to his nephew, the Rev. Lloyd Fletcher of Gwernhaulod, who assumed the additional name of Wynne. He was succeeded in turn by his three nephews, the last of whom, Philips Lloyd Fletcher died in 1906, the estate finally passing to his cousin Ll. W.H. Tringham. In the 1960's Nerquis Hall was sold.
According to the 1873 return of owners of land, Phillips Lloyd Fletcher of Nerquis Hall, Flintshire, then owned an estimated 3,877 acres, all in in Flintshire and Merionethshire, with an estimated rental of £3,210.
Pengwern Hall had come to the Wynn family through the marriage of Anne Lewis to Owen Wynn of Llwyn, Denbighshire, in 1689. Their son, Morris Wynn, married Elizabeth Edwards of Penhesgyn, Anglesey, and Plas yn y Coed, Flintshire, 1723. Pengwern descended to their grandson, Maurice Wynn (d.1835), who left it to his nephew, Lloyd Fletcher Wynn. Eventually Pengwern was inherited by Henrietta Esther Elwes, surviving sister of Philips Lloyd Fletcher, in 1906.
