House History of Llanerch y Felin, Rowen Introduction Llanerch y Felin is reputed to be the oldest house in the village of Rowen. The Royal Commission on Ancient & Historical Monuments Vol (i) East dated the earliest parts of the house as being 1590. An extract from the volume is in the appendix. However research in the Cymryd papers has indicated that this date is either incorrect and or that there was an earlier house or houses on the same site. The earliest documented record of the property is in the Cymryd Papers in a lease dated 1565, held in Gwynedd Archives. An early photograph of the house indicates that there was a building to the West of the house. There was also evidence of an early building in the yard to Llanerch y Felin. Part constructed of stone this was in use as a garage/store until its demolition in 2011 to make way for a new entrance into the field. It is believed that this was once also a dwelling, and could be one of the two buildings referred to in the Cymryd lease.
