Eisteddfa to The Stable

The Barn |
Eisteddfa (pronounced
"eye-steth-va") means "resting or
sitting place" in Welsh and was used as such by the pilgrims on their
way to
Bardsey
Island. Both the Armstrong-Jones and the Lloyd-George families have lived at Eisteddfa and all the property is still
owned by a branch of the family.
The most famous
ancestor of the resident family, the Carey-Evans' was David Lloyd-George,
former Prime Minister (1916).history
