We are now back in the living room, and back in the tour of the house, most of the interior pictures of the house you have seen so far I took at 6:30 am the Monday morning we were leaving to make sure we got a good picture tour of the house.

This is Mayor R. Phillip Parry welcoming us again to the Bronfadog, and explaining the history of the home and that this room was the room where Dr. Thomas Wynne held the Quaker meetings. Mayor Phillip is about a inch or so shorter than I so the inside of the fireplace is just short of five foot tall. We should get measurements from Mike Owens on that.
