File ECD3/1 - Ty Gwyn and Ty Coch, Henllan

The file comprises deeds for Ty Gwyn and premises in Tre'r-llan, and Ty Coch, Henllan, which were described in the marriage settlement of Thomas Lloyd of Vaynol and Mary, daughter of Richard ap Harry Peake, in 1630. By 1731, the properties were in the ownership of William Lloyd, who mortgaged them to Jane Hughes of Henllan in 1742. He sold them in 1749, together with a seat in Henllan church, to Robert Thomas of Henllan, still encumbered by the unpaid mortgage and subject to leases and a life estate to himself in a room with fireplace. Robert Thomas, in his will, proved 1770, instructed that his daughter, Susan, wife of William Hughes of Plasmyvod, was to receive the rents and profits. There appears to have been a purchase of a further cottage by Susan's son, John Williams, in 1784. Ty Gwyn and Ty Coch were eventually purchased by George Griffith of Garn from Thomas Hughes of Liverpool, who had inherited them from his father's cousin, John Hughes of Garthgynnan, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, after 1834.
