The Eglwyseg rocks climbed to a height of 1614 ft. (492 m) above the road that my Jones surname family traveled for many years. At the start of this trail was Dyffryn Clwyd, where the graze land gave the herds of cows and sheep something to do during the summer months. [At this period, a herd of cows was counted as 24]. The town land came to be called Llwyn-Ynn as discussed in the last post. Now some 20 miles southeast, the winter home was called Llwyn-Onn where the cows and sheep could take a break during the winter months. The following figure shows this travel route now along A525.
The Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust stated on May 5, 2006 that Llwyn Onn Hall could be reached via a private track from the east side of Cefn Road at Pentre Gwyn opposite the junction with Abenbury Road. The following map shows Llwyn Onn Hall Hotel [became B&B] and, Llwyn Onn Hall (farm) to the southeast of Wrexham proper [bottom right conner of map].
The Regional Sites & Monuments Record by Email, sent 5/5/2006 stated: "History Llwyn Onn Hall was until recently the home of the chief family of Wrexham, the Jones's, later Jones-Parry's, who claimed descent from Tudor Trefor. John Norden's survey of the lordship of Bromfield and Yale of 1620 records Roger Jones as holding "one capital messuage, called llwyn onn" and by 1724 Rate Books record the existence of "New Llwyn Onn" presumably to distinguish it from the present house which can therefore dated to at least the early part of the C18 although the fabric suggest a building of the C17, though not neccessarily that recorded by Norden. The Hall was turned into a Hotel in 1986 with the addition of a managers house, and some internal alterations."
