History

Dolwar Fach was the home of the Welsh hymnologist Ann Griffiths (1776-1805). This successor house remains a place of pilgrimage for Welsh Methodists, including many from U.S.A.; the parlour is devoted to memorabilia of Ann Griffiths.

The farm was recorded in 1841 as a tenancy on the Wynnstay estate. The house of Ann Griffiths' time stood a few metres away from the position of the present house. The present house is a C19 stone farmhouse and still forms a compact group with its farm outbuilding ranges.

Exterior

A two-storey, two-window stone farmhouse of symmetrical design with stone front porch. The masonry is in axe-dressed informally coursed local stone. Slate roof with stone end-chimneys. Boarded main door. Modern replaced windows throughout, those at front retaining the original window proportions. The lower windows at front have stone arches. Brick rear extensions, part flat roofed.

Interior

Porch opens directly to main room at right; parlour at left.

Reasons for Listing

A C19 stone farmhouse in proximity to earlier farmyard ranges; listed especially for its association with Ann Griffiths, the noted late C18 Welsh revival hymnologist.
