History

Probably built late C18 / early C19 and shown on an estate map of 1822. A cottage in the same location is listed on the Tithe Apportionment as Hafod Grove, owned (and occupied) by Jane Rees and probably a tied cottage of the Hafod Grove Estate c1km to the SE, owned by Major John Vaughan Colby of Ffynone, Boncath. It is likely that it was a labourer’s cottage throughout the C19. The name Plas y Mwswm is first recorded in a census of 1881, when it was occupied by Benjamin James, a farm labourer and his family.
