In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Wynyard like this:
WYNYARD, a noble mansion in the SE of Durham; 5 miles NNW of Stockton-upon-Tees. It was founded in 1822, by the Marquis of Londonderry; went on toward completion till 1841; was then destroyed by fire, with loss of £150,000; was, immediately afterwards, begun to be reconstructed; and is a magnificent edifice, in the Grecian style, with a grand Corinthian portico, and with a statue gallery 120 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 60 feet high. An obelisk in the park commemorates a visit of the Duke of Wellington in 1827.
