Y DRENEWYDD - Hoodie

Y Drenewydd (Tref – Town/Newydd – New) is the largest town in Powys, Wales. It lies on the Afon Hafren in the community of Y Drenewydd and Llanllwchaiarn. It was designated a new town in 1967 and saw population growth as firms settled, changing its market town character.

The area came to the attention of the English Crown in the 13th century when Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, created a new Cantref at Castell Dolforwyn,  Abermiwl following the Treaty of Trefaldwyn between himself and Henry III. Llywelyn had the castle built to consolidate the land he had been given according to the treaty. However, it was not long after the death of Henry III in 1272 that tension arose with the English at their outpost of Castell Trefaldwyn in the Welsh Marches. This led Edward I to seize and capture Castell Dolforwyn in 1277. He then granted Llywelyn's lands to the powerful Marcher Lord, Roger Mortimer, who transferred the administration of the cantref of Cedewain and the commote of Ceri from Castell Dolforwyn Castle to a new settlement he planned to build further down the valley at the current site of Y Drenewydd, hence how it got its name. The town's market charter was granted in 1279.
