(1762) BRYNODOL (Fig. II6, plates 48, 52,55, 57) is a two storeyed\u00a0house with attics, mostly rebuilt in the mid-18th\u00a0century. The name occurs in 1352, but the first mention of\u00a0the house seems to be in connection with a branch of the\u00a0Griffith family of Cefnamwlch in the 16th century; some of\u00a0the fabric of that building probably survives, though masked\u00a0by the 18th-century work. The house was visited in 1774 by\u00a0Samuel ]ohnson,who describes it as ‘new-built’.<\/p>\n

The extent of the 18th-century work makes complete\u00a0analysis of the development virtually impossible. Accounts for\u00a0the years 1751-67 survive, but refer mainly to final fittings\u00a0such as fireplaces and door furniture, but it is clear that this\u00a0work followed immediately after a major reconstruction\u00a0which included the staircase and extensive internal panelling.The ‘old kitchen’ is mentioned, but the only structural\u00a0addition described is the ‘new kitchen’,’ which now forms the\u00a0S.W. extremity of the building. Two pierced panels loose in\u00a0the loft of this kitchen are inscribed, and combined read\u00a0G\/IM 1743\/THIS HOUSE WAS REBUILT. The initials are those\u00a0of John and Margaret Griffith, the parents of Hugh.<\/p>\n

The earliest part of the house is the main (N.) block. In its present form it appears to be almost entirely of the early 18th\u00a0\u00a0century, but the two cellar windows, in the W. end of the N.<\/p>\n

front, have stone mullions and date from ca. 1600, so this block\u00a0may incorporate the original house, though its length of\u00a063 ft. is unusual for a building of that date. The surround to\u00a0the main doorway is modern but the door (Plate 52) is\u00a0original. The further additions, all within the 18th century,\u00a0seem to have been the ‘old kitchen’, the staircase and adjacent\u00a0rooms, and finally the ‘new kitchen’ (completed 1756-7),\u00a0in that order.<\/p>\n

Internally most of the 18th-century panelling has survived,\u00a0all having large plain panels above a moulded dado rail. The\u00a0best preserved sections on the ground floor are in the entrance hall\u00a0and in the room to the E. (Plate 57). The latter has a modern\u00a0fireplace and two new windows in the N. wall, otherwise both\u00a0rooms are complete including door furniture. The three first floor\u00a0rooms in the main block retain their original fireplaces\u00a0and most of their panelling; the larger room over the old\u00a0kitchen has lost all but that on the S. wall.<\/p>\n

The stair (Plate 55), housed in a brick wing, has a stepped\u00a0string with moulded rail and turned balusters. The original\u00a0lining survives on S. and W., but the E. wall has been removed\u00a0and replaced by a good modern reproduction of the\u00a0original balusters and strings. To the E. is a service stair of\u00a0similar design, which may have been reset. In an attic bedroom\u00a0near the middle of the main block is a partition formed of a
\nsection of moulded oak panelling of ca. 1600.<\/p>\n
