History

Late C18 or early C19 country house, probably built for the Reverend David Griffith (1754-1834), tutor to the children of George Bowen of Llwyngwair, then son-in-law 1781, and vicar of Nevern 1783-1834. David Griffith seems to have lived latterly at Berry Hill, Nevern where he died. His son G.D.B. Griffith was owner in 1838. But from 1841 owner was Owen Owen of Cwmgloyned (d1849). Advertised for sale 1872. Later owned by the Lloyds of Bronwydd and their descendants as Lords Marcher of Cemaes.
