Our history

The single-storey cottage, Bronheulog, is believed to date from 1832 and was given by the Countess of Lisburne to the Women’s Institute as a meeting room in 1918. It is one of very few properties in the UK to be owned and managed by a local branch of the WI.

The building is Grade II listed as it’s of historical interest as a very early W.I. hall and for its connection to the nearby Trawsgoed Estate.
