History

The barn bears the date 1716 and the whole complex could well be of that date. The farm formed part of the estates of the Morgan family of Llantarnam; Bradney recounts the division of the estate in 1707, and records the tomb of Evan James of The Lodge, (died 1774). The buildings were converted to a Church and Meeting Room in c1990.
