Ty Mawr, Wybrnant, 1950
Description
Ty Mawr, Wybrnant, with Evans Evans and dog, taken in 1950. (information from niece)
Ty Mawr is a late sixteenth-early seventeenth century house with earlier origins. Identified as the birthplace, in 1545, of Bishop Morgan, the translator of the first complete Welsh Bible, published in 1588. The house was restored and modified in 1888 and 1987-8, to commemorate this event.
A two storey house, with walls of flat stone slabs above massive boulder foundations. It has a (modern) slate gabled roof framed by massive stone end chimney stacks. Few original features remain. Vestidual cruck timbers are thought to survive from an earlier building.

I have family ties to Ty Mawr, Wybrnant, where my Mother was born. The gentleman shown in this photograph is my Uncle Evan Evans who was married to my Aunt Edith.

Hi Ginni, thank you very much for your comment. We're very glad to have the name of the gentleman in the photo which I will add to the record. Do you have any other photos that you would be happy to upload to the site? It's an easy process to register and upload and it would be great to have more about the family connected to the house, Helen (RCAHMW)
