Background

History

The village of Penrhyn-coch is a recent development; in the 18th century there was no village, the land formed part of the Gogerddan Estate owned by the Pryse family. The village started to develop at the end of the 18th century, but major growth did not occur until after the break-up of the Gogerddan Estate in the 1940s. A memorial to the fallen of both World Wars who came from the village and surrounding area can be found outside the post office. The large block of quartz used for the memorial, according to a thesis published in 1939, is an ancient standing stone.
