History

Farmhouse, probably early C19 with later alterations. Shown on Llanwnda tithe map of 1840, when the main access was from Pantyrychain to the S. First recorded in 1699 when Jonathan Thomas was there. In 1702 he leased the site of the Fishguard Bay Hotel to William Rogers. John Thomas succeeded, and estate divided between 2 daughters, one married to William Rogers, the other to William Moore of Haverfordwest. The property was tenanted until both halves sold in 1803-4 to David Harries of Dinas Island.
