Have you visited Tongwynlais.com before?

I'd love to share your photo on the site, my readers would love to see it.

My great great grandmother's parents used to own the Lewis Arms in Tongwynlais.  When great, great granny (Martha Ann Lewis) was very young, Mary Ann Wyndham Lewis who had become fond of her, asked her parents if she could allow her daughter to come and live with her and her husband at Greenmeadow with a view to adoption.  She lived with them at Greenmeadow until her young teenage years and during that time she lived a life of 'luxury and plenty'.   She was welcomed to dinner parties and had a wonderful life there, where Disraeli was a frequent visitor and later went on to marry Mary Ann!  I have this treasured story which has been passed down from Martha Ann!

Hi debbuc,

I run a community website for Tongwynlais. I loved your message and I'd be interested if you have any more information or photographs from your family's ownership of the Lewis Arms.

Hi Tinca,

I run a community website for Tongwynlais and love the photo! Are you from Tongwynlais?

I've not seen another copy of it anywhere. Where did you get it?

Jack
