Palmer in his book "A History of the Local Townships" the first mention of "Llofft Wen" appeared in rate books of 1724. It is then presumed that the property was re-built prior to a deed dated 25th March 1806. It is reported that an unlawful meeting of the Calvinistic Methodists was disturbed at "Llofft Wen" in 1747-48. In the 19th century William Low lived at the property and he prepared the first practical plans for a double tunnel under the English Channel.<br/><br/>Location<br/>The property is situated on the lower slopes of the village in the area known as "Adwy".
