The building of Plas Rhianfa begun in 1849 for Sir John Hay Williams, 2nd Baronet of Bodelwyddan. The house was intended as a dower house, to provide a home for his wife and daughters after his death. Sir John and Lady Sarah Williams did much of the design work themselves, but used Charles Reed of Liverpool as their architect, and John Rogers of Beaumaris, builder. Sir John died in 1859 and Lady Sarah occupied the house until her death in 1876. The house was left to her elder daughter, who died in 1930. Given as a wedding present to Dr and Mrs Andrew Verney, it was eventually sold in 1957. After subdivision as flats, the house was in process of restoration to a single dwelling in 2004 when the garden renovation also took place.
