Cadw's description
Location
Located in the centre of the town at right-angles with the street, and facing E behind a rubble garden wall.
History
At early site, Brynmor was predominant in the locality long before the establishment of the town. The present house is probably early C17 and is presumably that mentioned in an indenture of 1625 as a possession of John Williams, Archbishop of York and Lord Keeper. Some internal cosmetic alterations were carried out probably in the second quarter C18; Mid and late C19 extensions and alterations, including two additional storeyed wings.
Reason for designation
A C17 vernacular house retaining good C19 external character in a prominent road-side location within the town.
