Note: Merthyr Historian Volume 1 III Chapter 13 M S Taylor: The Big Houses of Merthyr Tydffil Page 114 "Another house.... is Llwyncelyn, and I gather that again little, if any, of the old structure remains. It was originally a farm, but from the mid 1780's was inhabited for probably twenty years by Richard Crawshay." "Llwyncelyn overlooked a separate part of the Works known as Ynysfach, and I am convinced it was there that Richard Crawshay established a beautiful garden for which he hired a skilled man from london, William Pamplin." "Apparently William I (Crawshay) still shunned Llwyncelyn."
