Notes on PEN-CNWC, Cilcennin, Ceredigion 2011
A longhouse in a superb location. As so often the case, the barns/byres are in a much better condition that the house. The house, as seen here, is roofless and dividing walls within have all been stripped leaving a long open space.
Recently purchased one watches with an enthusiastic eye as this house will hopefully become a family home once again.
A simple Ty Bach suspended over a small gullied stream.
I wondered who owned and lived here. Does anyone know?

By Kathryn Elliott: I believe that this is one of my "ancestral homes". I have been told that Ann and John Richards owned Pencnwc in Cilennin, Cardiganshire, Weales. After John died around 1840, Ann and her entire family emigrated to the Welsh settlement in Jackson and Gallia counties of Ohio. I have a picture of the home (when still in good condition) that looks like it must be this one. Please update us on progress to restore the home. Someday I dream of making a visit to the "homeland". Thank you!
