History
A house of C18 origin, owned by Jane Lloyd in 1750, which was a public house by the C19 and is shown as such on the 1839 Tithe map. It was owned by Richard Garnons of Colomendy 1814-53, after which it was purchased by Philip Davies-Cooke of Gwysaney. A bakehouse was added in the mid C19 and is shown on the 1870 Ordnance Survey. By 1874 it was owned by John Lloyd of Hersedd Farm, and in 1903 by the West Cheshire Brewery Co. It closed as a public house in 1917 and has since been a dwelling.
