I came across this Melin-y-wig correspondence by accident. We became friends with Gwil and Memna Roberts, a lovely couple, owners of Tai Teg Mawr, and Tai Teg Canol (which was for sale) in the early seventies. The latter was bought by a Peter Freeman who fell out with Gwil who responded by demolishing all the old stone outbuildings. We bought Tai Teg Isaf around 1976, from Mr Davies, whose wife had died. He moved to Ruthin. It came with outbuildings and a rough pasture. We found from the old deeds that the house had had a very sad history, with generations of deaths recorded. I'm afraid that it never felt like a happy house. Even though we loved the valley and surroundings, we sold it on in 1985. A lady who kept huskie dogs bought it, and sold it quite recently to a young couple who have refurbished it and seem very happy there. Tai Teg Mawr, a large sheep and then cattle farm, was owned for many generations by the Roberts family. Their older son Glyn and his family have now taken over the farm.
