Did you know?

Un o’r cartrefi preifat, hynaf yn Y Bontfaen a llawer yn honni iddo gael ei ddefnyddio fel lloches i bererinion blinedig ar eu ffordd i Dyddewi. Fe’i sefydlwyd fel tafarn yn ystod y 1850au ond fe’i cauwyd erbyn 1920 pan defnyddiodd Wybert Thomas, y perchennog, y lle fel swyddfa i’w gwmni adeiladu. 

The Lamb and Flag was opened in 1845 and the licensee by 1908 was Mrs Catherine Rees.  Following a tribunal the inn was closed in the 1920s and is now a private house.

It was located some half a mile up the hill between Cwmfelin and Llangynwyd.  At one time the inn was used for the change and refreshment of bearers in funerals who were on their way to the churchyards.  

The 15^th century Welsh longhouse is located close to the Parish Church in rural Radnorshire.  The Harp offers lovely views over the Radnor valley.  Interior of building has hardly changed with polished flagstones, oak ceiling beams and a cross corner inglenook.  A fine settle has pride of place in the bar.

Tradition has it that Charles I stayed the night and complained about the food.

Log fires during the winter months.

Serving real conditioned real ales.

Thomas Powell, who was to became one of the leaders of the Montgomeryshire Chartists, was the son of a Newtown soldier, Richard Powell, (who had fought in the American War of Independence) died in 1837 at the Grapes Inn, Penygloddfa, Newtown
