History

A house (Tyddyn Canol) is shown on this site on a map of the Penrhyn Estate in 1804. Parts of this building may be incorporated in the present structure, which is however mainly of mid-C19 appearance, having acquired its present plan-form by the time of the 1889 Ordnance Survey map. The garden is made out of part of the old drying ground and the building is now divided into 2 units.
