Eisteddfa Egwad

Llanegwad

Grid Ref: SN 5350 2350

Eisteddfa Egwad can be found about a mile to the south-east of Ynyswen, across the river Cothi as marked on the Colby Map of 1831. 

The property was shown as a farm of 107 acres in the tithe schedule 1839. 

Rowlands in 1866 wrote, ‘Near Eisteddfa Egwad there are some old ruins supposed to be an extensive mansion; peradventure the time has been that it was dressed in sublime symmetry, and its strength seemed to dare the power of time; but time has blown its beauty and graces away, and it has crumbled into sand’. 

Eisteddfa Egwad was the home of the Revd. George Jones (of the Pantglas family) about 1760.
