3 FFRITH HALL Ffrith Hall is considered to be a fine example of a late Georgian villa, which was commissioned in 1790 by the steel magnate John Wilkinson of Wilkinson Steel fame. The house was built for their estate manager, who ran the former Brymbo Hall Estate incorporating Wilkinson s own private residence set in over 500 acres of land and the renowned Brymbo Steel Works which closed in Ffrith Hall is deserving of its Grade II Listing, being an imposing three storey house with an attractive stucco facade, decorative pillars and symmetrical sash windows under a slate roof.
