  • HAFOD LWYFOG, Nantgwynant, Gwynedd SH 6526 5225
    SNOWDONIA DENDROCHRONOLOGY PROJECT HAFOD LWYFOG, Nantgwynant, Gwynedd. HOUSE HISTORY 1860s -1899: Hafod Lwyfog, so called “because there are elm trees there” says Edward Llwyd. Some of the old poets have called it Hafod Lwyddog (prosperous) and that form is explained on p 294. On the beam which runs under the parlour ceiling are the letter E. LL. E. 1638, but the house is at least eighty years older than that date would lead one to think. The initials are for Ifan Llwyd (or Evan Lloyd) and his wife, and their crest is still preserved on the end wall of the same room. The green mounds about the house, and the traces of artificial walks and drives around them may still be seen, speak of days when taste and expenses were applied to the beautifying of this residence. The hand of time, the rusticity of many of the past tenants, and its having become exclusively a farm, have very successfully co-operated in obliterating those traces of taste and refinement. (D E Jenkins, Beddgelert Its Facts Fairies & Folklore, p 281-86) late 1800s: it has been recorded towards the end of the last century the coat of arms of the old family i.e. the three eagles [Owain Gwynedd] and the letters E. LL/E 1638 could be seen clearly carved on the oak beams which run under the parlour ceiling and also on a piece of hard oak set into the wall in one of the upstairs bedroom at the opposite end of the house to where the parlour is situated.
