History
Farmhouse dated 1869. An earlier house is recorded from at least 1774 when David Protheroe, son of Thomas Protheroe of this address was born here. In 1832, Henry M. Evans was the occupier here. In 1839, the house was indicated on the Tithe Map, still occupied by Evans, and the property of the Earl of Cawdor. The house was rebuilt in 1869, reportedly in less than 8 weeks. In 1875, Benjamin and John Evans were farming here. By 1895, the property had passed to John Davies. The present occupiers have traced their ancestors here back for eight generations.
