Llys Derwin

This sixteenth century farmhouse was built on the probable site of a Roman Bath-house. The present building dates from circa 1540 and is described by students of architecture as being a sub-medieval hall house. It retains all it's original feature characteristics including walls of massive undressed boulders, arched doorway, opposite doors and windows, massive inglenoon with attendant bread oven.

The first floor is reached by a stone spiral staircase complete with slit window reminiscent of an arrow hole. The roof is supported by a couple of massive collar beam trusses with the original oak purlins and spars exposed.

The solid oak post and panel partition in the hall is a replica of the original which was unfortunately removed in the early part of the last century to make a thrashing floor.

The small stone vessel dated 1664 is reputed to have been utilised as a mobile baptismal font.
