From the Wikipedia article
Ffynone (Welsh: Ffynnonau) is a mansion and estate near Boncath, Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the parish of Manordeifi. The original Georgian design was by the architect John Nash, and the house was later remodelled by Inigo Thomas. It is a Grade I listed building, and its gardens and park are also listed, at Grade I, on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

Background
History
The name predates the present house, and its Welsh name Ffynnonau, meaning "Wells", reflects the existence of a number of springs in the vicinity. Spence-Jones took the additional surname of Colby by royal licence in 1920. In 1927, the property was sold to a Glamorgan business man. The house, in 20 acre of woodland, was bought and restored from 1988 onwards by Owen Lloyd George, 3rd Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor and his wife, who are credited with saving the house. After the death of the 3rd Earl in 2010, the house was put up for sale with a guide price of £2.5 million. The estate records (to 1919) are held at the National Library of Wales.
