Glynrhysglych Llandeilo'r Fan

[Llanfihangel]

I found a reference to:

Syr Huw ap Gruffudd "Gôch",   b. Abt 1530, of, Glynrhysglych, Llandeilo'r-fân, Breconshire, Wales

He had a son called:

William ap Huw

Does anyone know where Glynrhysglych might have been in Llandeilo’r Fan?

In that area the farm might have been incorporated into the Army's Sennybridge Ranges.  I know a lot of the area was cleared in the early years of WW2 so this farm could have been one of them.   There is a really interesting book called "Eppynt Without People" which catalogues the establishment of the army ranges and the destruction of the local communities.

Hello GS
I didn't find Glynrhysglych anywhere, and I think it was long gone by this century. Very interesting information on the lost farms in that region. Many thanks for the references...

What a shame you couldn't find Glynrhysglych, but as you say, it is probably long gone.  That is a really interesting area, and it has fascinated me since we moved to that area.  When the Epynt was cleared for the opening of the army ranges, the communities were scattered thereafter, with some going to Brecon, others to Sennybridge and some leaving the area completely.  It is strange to drive over the ranges today and see how little remains of those thriving communities.
