Llanddewi
Llanddewi first appears in the census records under its old name 'Tycwta' in 1851.
Present-day Llanddewi is two houses joined together, with the current hallway having been the passageway between the two.
The right-side of the cottage, looking at the photograph, is constructed with river-stone, even the inner walls being over 2 feet thick.
The left side of the cottage has a thinner, river-stone frontage, but the wall either side are brick. To the rear of this section is an old kitchen (current utility) with fireplace.
The stairs rise up from the hallway, in the brick-built side of the house. The rooms on the left side of the house have higher ceilings than the right side.
It is thought that the left side, front of the house was the blacksmith's shop.
