a windmill is in the 1590s when Sir Robert
Sailsbury of Bachymyd Hall leased it to William Sailsbury of Glanwydden. It was probably rebuilt in 1668 by the Sailsburys, as it was part of their estate. Under the influence of the Morris family of Llanfihangel Tre'r Beirdd, it was again modified in 1704. The Morris family had business in the area and had also married into the Sailsbury family. This is a possible interpretation of the date above the main doors which is S.R.M. -668/1704. During the 18th century, the windmill came into the hands of the Davis family.
