Felin llwyn bedw, parish of Llananno (SO 103 738): on as mall brook tributary to the R. Eithon. \par \par I quote Tucker: 'The name is marked on the Ist ed. 1" OS map, but is not shown on the Tithe Maps for Llanbister or Llananno, nor on the 6 "OS map of 1904. There are no signs on the ground, but the position indicated would seem to be the only possible site in the vicinity. [He was right'] This is a very doubtful mill site, however. \par \par The OS 2" sketch map of 1816, held at the National Library of Wales, shows the mill on the cast side of the brook south of the road. The ground in the immediate area is very disturbed and broken, and it is impossible to make any sense of that which one sees today. The brook still forms the boundary between the parishes of Llanbister and Llananno as it did at the time of the 1st edition OS 25" plan published in 1889. \par \par This plan shows an interesting diversion of the boundary from the brook]. It suddenly diverges from the stream and follows a pecked line marked 'Tk.S.', which in 'OS speak' means 'Track of Stream'. It then swings sharply to the south west at a point marked 'F.W', which means 'Face of Wall'. I think that the 'Face of Wall' was the end wall of a roofless building (marked A on Fig.3)) which shows quite clearly and scales to about 20ft. by 15ft. on plan. The 'Track of Stream' may well have been a short leat lead\'a8ing from the brook to an undershot wheel on the end of the bulldlng. There is also a further roofless building (B), which scales to about 20ft. by 1Oft. on plan. \par \par Building A is, I think, probably the ruined mill. By 1904 the 2nd edition of the 25" plan does not show these particular features, although the boundary follows the same course across the ground. The site is on the Llananno side of the boundary, not in Llanbister. \par \par There certainly was a Felin LIwyn beclw, and the Llananno Census returns give its occupants: \par \par 1841 'Llwyn beddw Mill', John Ingram (50), miller, with his wife Sarah and three children; \par 1851 'Llwynbedow Mill', Joseph Thomas (22), miller, with William Thickens (61), 'Miller (Servant)'. \par \par There is no record of the mill after 1851 in the Census returns, and one must assume that it went out of business between 1851 and 1861. It was most probably a corn mill of eighteenth century construction, and it is possible that it was built on the site of earlier medieval or post medieval mills since it would appear to have had an undershot wheel. \par \par That the mill at least of eighteenth century date is made more certain by its association with the farm Maesllan which lies in Llananno parish about a kilometre to the north west. The Tithe Map for Llanano shows that field \par no. 1954 corresponds more or less to field no. 1063 on the OS 1st ed.25" plan. The Tithe Apportionment of 1841 records that this field, which straddles the boundary between Llananno and Llanbister, was called'Mil\'a8lfold' and that it belonged to the Maesllan farm. The Tithe Map shows a small building in the same position as Building A, with the parish boun\'a8dary taking a sharp turn around it in the same way. \par \par MaesIlan Farm and Corn Mill were advertised with about 150 acres of meadow and pasture land to be let and entered upon at the next Lady Day in the Hereford Journal for 28th August, 1808, and again similarly described for letting five years later in the issue for 13th January, 1813. Mr G.Hughes, who has farmed locally all his life, told me that he had been told that if one dug into a bank by the western edge of the Millfold field, the ashes from a drying kiln could still be found. \par \par Edmund Mortimer had a water mill at 'Thlananno' in 1304. Later, in the account of the Mortimer estates for 1356/7, it was recorded that the mill house at 'Lanhannow' was newly made using the lord's timber, and roofed with task work for 18s, and one grindstone was bought for. 16s. 8d. The 'farm' (lease) of Llananno Mill was let to David Lloid andDavid ap Cadwgan and was worth \'a34 in 1392/3. 11 While I am not saying that this was indeed the site of the medieval mill in Llananno, it is by the main river for the area. Furthermore the A483 road which passes by it is an old north south 'through road; so the connection is notimpossible. \par \par Records from Llananno Parish Register, transcribed by Lloyd Lewis. \par \par Baptisms \par Abode Occupation
