My family owned Cynghordy Hall from around 1880 to 1915.  After my great grfather purchased it he made extensive renovations and improvements.   I have lots of information and a few photographs from that era.  I donated copies of some of the info and photos to the Library in Llandovery.  Brad Jeffreys
