What does Yr Hen stabl mean?


Yr Hen Stabal means old stable. Yr in welsh means "the", Hen in welsh means "old" and Stabl is of course stable. In the past (long time ago) the stable would have housed the horses of the adjacent property. My family have used the barn for a number of purposes including rearing calves, rearing pigs, storing corn and even accommodation for some sheep shearers from New Zealand (probably the toughest job!). Since the property has been converted then no animals will be found in the property (including pets - sorry).

And if you are wondering what the photo shows? - Its the master bedroom!
