Penarth (Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn)

Penarth is a timber-framed house set back from the A483 road near to Newtown, Wales, close to the banks of the river Severn.

[3] A chimney stack is positioned so that a Lobby entrance is formed, a typical feature of Severn Valley houses.

The two gabled wings on either side of the hall are jettied with the second floor projecting forward and the timber framing forming a decorated geometric pattern.

The earliest known owner of Penarth was Richard Pryce, who in 1604 was commemorated in a poem by the Welsh Bard and Herald, Lewys Dwnn.

The Rev John Parker, (noted for his diaries and drawings of Church screens), who was Rector of Llanmerewig (1827-1844), lived here.
