Talsarn
Talsarn is a hamlet in the community of Nantcwnlle, Ceredigion, Wales. It lies some 16 miles (26 km) south of Aberystwyth, 64 miles (103 km) north-west of Cardiff, and 178 miles (286 km) from London. It is situated almost half-way between the towns of Lampeter and Aberaeron on the Ceredigion coast. The River Aeron passes close to Talsarn as it makes its way to the sea at Aberaeron.
Notable archaeological discoveries have been made in the district, including Stone Age tools and a medieval convent, cemetery and Tudor mansion.
Talsarn boasts four mansions in its vicinity: Llanllyr, Abermeurig, Plas Trefilan and Plas Gelli, as well as Ty Mawr, a substantial 17th C. farmhouse which sits at the centre of the hamlet, and Trefilan Castle “a strong castle mound that can be associated with a princely house” of the medieval period. Little remains of the castle, except its mound, which is close to St. Hilary's parish church in Trefilan.
Capel Hermon Methodist Chapel lies outside Talsarn, just off the road from Trefilan to Cilcennin.
The hamlet's name may derive from the Roman road Sarn Helen, which runs nearby, though it's also been noted that where a medieval road crossed soft ground, a "sarn of logs and rushes were required. Places that bear such names as Sarnau, Pensarn and Talsarn denote spots that topographically conform to this description.”
The W00002862 Output Area's (which includes Talsarn) population can be found here:
Plas Gelli is a Grade II listed building, comprising the original Jacobean farmhouse, built in the 1680s, with a four-room cross-wing added to the farmhouse in the late 18th C. The farmyard comprised stabling for four horses, as well as the Ty Pair, the outdoor servants' quarters. Gelli also has a walled garden and an octagonal thatched lodge at the head of the drive, of the kind often associated with John Nash.
The writer and poet Dylan Thomas lived at Gelli from 1941 to 1943, though he was frequently in London during this period. Dylan and his wife Caitlin shared the cross-wing of the house with his childhood friends from Swansea, Vera and Evelyn Phillips. Dylan and Caitlin's daughter, Aeronwy, was named after the river Aeron.
