Information from: http://www.carmarthenshirefhs.info/edwinsford.htm
Edwinsford Estate which is on the banks of the River Cothi and below Moelfre Hill, in Llansawel Parish and situated between the villages of Llansawel and Talley.
The Bridge (right) over the Cothi was built by William Edwards in 1783.
The Manor house was probably built in the Elizabethan period 16th Century, It was extended during the 17th Century when the rest of the house was joined to the main building which was built around a central chimney stack.
Additions and changes were made in the 19th Century, including a large drawing room in 1842. When it was completed a grand ball was held. Other additions including a porch were added about this time.
during the 1940's and 1950's the building becam unihabitable and ruinous and is sadly in a rather bad state today. As you will see from the Photographs, it must have been a fine building during its time.
The original owner was Meurig Goch who claimed to be decended from Selyf King of Dyfed.
There were many generations, who became Williams' and the manor remained in the family until the death of the last Williams, Sir James Hamlyn Williams Williams-Drummond, Bart who died in 1970
