Introduction
This record refers to a group of houses and gardens in and around the village of Llanblethian. The village was a sought-after location in the early-1800s, being described by Thomas Carlyle as 'a decidedly cheerful group of human homes, the greater part of them indeed belonging to persons of refined habits'. Several of this group of houses are described in component areas of this record.
