Next to the gate opposite the Almshouses stands the Parish Clerk’s House. This was built by the “Rev’d Howell Holland Edwards, late Rector of Llanrwst for the residence of the Parish Clerk and vested in the Trustees for which the Clerk is to pay the Trustees , while he occupies it, a Rent of Fifty two shillings a year, and in proportion for any less period than a year.” The first half yearly payment was duly paid on March 25 1867 by Edward Jones.
