1664 Sir Thomas Morgan purchased from Humphrey and RoseTailor the property that formerly belonged to his father Lewis Morgan.

Bradney
1767 After the death of Sir Thomas Morgan's grandson, John Morgan, the estate was sold the following year to David Lloyd, whose family were tenants of the estate and owners of a small property called Ty-ffynnon (the well-house) close by.
1816 Charles, son of David Lloyd, sold the estate to Thomas Davies of Tal-y-coed in the parish of Llantilio Crossenny. The next purchaser was John Richards of Abergavenny, horse dealer, from whom it descended to his nephew, John Pye of Abergavenny, horse dealer. After the death of the latter, about 1886, the estate was purchased by Mr. Simon Bar-jonas Preece of Penrhos.
