In the 1920s Mr David Thomas, Inspector of Schools in Cardiganshire, asked Headteachers in the county to get the pupils in their schools to collect the names of houses in their area. As a result, in 1925 Mr H Jones, Headmaster of Cwmystwyth School and his pupils went around the village and collected the name of every cottage, smallholding and farm in the area. Today (2026) the names of some of the houses have changed but we still have a record of the old name to pass on to future generations.
