| SIR WATKIN WILLIAMS- WYNN 1841, Coming of age |
£56 |
The coming-of-age celebration of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, 6th Baronet, in September 1841 was one of the most magnificent and widely celebrated majority events in Welsh history.
Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn (1820–1885) inherited the baronetcy and the vast Wynnstay estate unexpectedly in January 1840 at the age of 19 after the death of his father, the 5th Baronet. Because he was still a minor, he could not legally take control of his inheritance or take his seat as a Member of Parliament for Denbighshire.
When he reached his majority (age 21) on May 22, 1841, he officially attained his coming of age. To mark the occasion, a massive, multi-day festival was held across his estates in September of that year..
