Back part about 1850, front extension mid 1880s. 

It is believed a family called Lloyd lived here in the original house.

Extension was built by TR Griffiths. He was a partner in what became Gabbs solicitors; may explain why there is a VR letter box in wall outside.  Son, RT Griffiths was born at Ty Glyn.  Only one example found of gas pipes in walls that would have been used for lighting.  They installed a hydro scheme with water taken off upstream of the Bagget's pool falls and a mill pond excavated into the Powys embankment with 100m long dyke.  It was the second home to have electric power in the area.  They did much of the landscaping including planting with trees and laying out croquet and tennis lawns. 

It was sold to Major Cockcroft in 1928 (Conservatory was demolished by then and the bay window added).  Cockcroft kept ducks during WWII and sold them to London market.  There was an apple orchard on the Powys bank where the Mill Pond had been. He was a magistrate.  By many accounts a bit of a stickler.  He's buried in Cusop Churchyard.
