In 1565, there were only four houses in Barmouth and Ty Gwyn was one of them - Ty Gwyn means the White House.
It is now the oldest building in Barmouth appearing in any archive record and fittingly it occupies a key location down at the harbour.
Built by Gruffydd Fechan of Cors y Gedol between 1460-1485, Ty Gwyn features a late 15th century floor hall.

History has it that Jasper Tudor, the uncle of the first Tudor king, Henry VII hid up in Ty Gwyn during the Wars of the Roses.
***
It now houses a thriving cafe "Davy Jones' Locker" below and the Bronze Bell Shipwreck Museum above - This is about the 1709 wreck and the recent salvage operation.
