History

Memorial to Jeffreys Wilkins of The Priory, Brecon, died 1819, his wife Catherine Parry died 1827, and Charlotte wife of John Parry Wilkins, died 1826. John Parry Wilkins changed the family name in the 1820s to De Winton. The inscription to Jeffreys Wilkins relates that 'he was the first to put into practice that improved system of husbandry which has since so much distinguished the county of Brecon'. The Wilkins family founded the Brecon Old Bank.
