Hi there.
My friends live at Trebarried Court.
It consists of the very large (and currently for sale) Trebarried Hall.

My friends live in one of the houses that are in the courtyard which I believe were originally stables and outbuildings. Their house is also for sale!

You can see the courtyard in the picture.
Trebarried Mill also (would you believe!) has just gone on sale.

The word Trebarried means "Three Bars" or “Bars Dwelling” possibly in reference to gates and not the sort at which you drink!
The word Noyadd is related to the Welsh word Neuadd which simply means “Hall” or “Mansion House”.
So the root of the surnames are obviously from the places and there are many instances of this in Wales.
Some were historically named after the place in which they lived.
Some were named for their livelihood (e.g. Dai the Undertaker) or particular physical attributes such as Twm Tal (Tall Tom).
Hope this helps!

Sorry - I also meant to say that Trebarried Hall and Court are adjacent.
Trebarried Mill is about one mile away across the main A470 road between Brecon and Hay-on-Wye.
Lovely area - so glade to live here!
