Thanks for the clearer image Denn, not enough detail, but clearer non the less :) I'm looking into local history societies etc. to see if anyone may have more info. And yes Ruskie, I'd love to be able to return the coat of arms back above the doorway! Thanks for sending the pm's, fingers crossed they might reply.

Attached pictures of the bench for anyone interested - Also recent pictures can be found on my website - http://www.brynogarms.co.uk/

p.s. what's up with my windows?  :o ;D

Thanks for the replies, hadn't realised the op hadn't been active for such a long time, would love to have made contact (keeping fingers crossed), love to know more about the history of the bench too!

Hi, I don't know if anyone is still active on this thread... and sorry to hijack the previous hijacker... but, I've found this fascinating. I am the present landlady of the Brynog Arms after recently re-opening it and trying to restore the building to its former glory! I'd been told by locals that there was once a coat of arms above the door, I would love to know if there is anyway of finding out the design and colours, so I'm able to have it replaced. Also I'm shocked to see the iron bench in the picture!! I am in the process of having the very same bench restored, it has a brass plaque on the back with E Rees - Aberayron engraved on it.
The 1901 census shows a Margaret Richards, age 52, living there, and her 13 year old daughter Martha!! That would be Alma Rae's Grandmother! Copy of census:

1881 Census

Margaret Richards, age 32, Coachman's wife

Annie Herbert, age 18, general servant
Joseph James, age 47, visitor, Master Mariner

Margaret Richards, age 42, wife
William Richards, age 8, son
Mary Richards, age 10, daughter

Annie Richards, age 5 months, daughter
Jane Jenkins, age 23, general servant
Joseph James, age 57, uncle, Master Mariner, retired

1901 Census

David Richards, age 50, Innkeeper
Margaret Richards, age 52, wife

I would love to hear back from anyone here
