Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
The row of cottages lines the main road E of the centre of the village, overlooking the churchyard.
History
The row of cottages were probably built in the early C19, and appear on the 1843 tithe map under the same name. Nos 2 and 3 form the original pair which was extended at each end at a slightly later date.
Exterior
No 3 forms the W side of the central symmetrical pair. Entrance on the left; a panelled door with a 6-paned light and overlight above, 12-paned sash window to the right with cut stone lintel outlined by a square section label. 12-paned sash to the first floor, and a further sash window directly above the pier between the doors of Nos 2 and 3. The gable stack is built of rubble.
Reason for designation
Included as one of a row of small cottages which have largely retained the character of the early C19, at the centre of the village conservation area.
