THE VAUGHANS OF NANNAU AND HENGWRT
The inscriptions refer to the two seats of the ancient North Welsh family, the Vaughans of Nannau and Hengwrt. Nannau was originally built in the early 17th century. It was rebuilt in 1690s, however, the present house dates to the 1790s. Robert Howell Vaughan (1723-1792), second son of Robert Vaughan (1695-1749) and wife Janet Nanney (1692-1728) of Nannau, having succeeded his elder brother, proceeded to construct a new house in the classical style at Nannau. Robert was created a baronet in 1791 and died in 1792. His son Sir Robert Williams Vaughan, 2nd Bt. (1768-1843) added side pavilions to the house in around 1805 to the designs of the architect Joseph Bromfield.

Hengwrt was built between 1750 and 1754 by Hugh Vaughan, High Sheriff of Merioneth in 1752. It occupied the site of an older house which had been the home of Robert Vaughan (1592-1667), the great Welsh antiquary, however, it was not until the marriage of Robert Vaughan to Janet, third daughter and co-heir of Hugh Nanney of Nannau, that the two estates were united. These beakers, originally a set of twelve, six engraved Nannau and six engraved Hengwrt, commemorated the family's moving from Nannau to Hengwrt in 1788, having regained ownership of the house following a lengthy lawsuit.
