Rebuilt in 1844 by the Evans family of Treffgarne Hall, Nant y Coy Mill stayed in their possession for many years, until we are told there were no heirs. The Mill then passed to the Higgons family of Scotton Manor and then into private hands some years later.
We are researching the families who lived in, milled and farmed at Nant y Coy.
The four ton wheel now turns again in the leet from the Nant y Coy brook, the water flowing down into the Cleddau River below.

The Refurbishment of the Mill
Margaret Merritt, Nant y Coy's new owner, was keen to ensure that the redevelopment of the Mill resulted in a comfortable, efficient, and environmentally friendly building, and have already achieved Wales ‘Green Dragon’ environmental standard.
When it came to selecting a heating system, biomass seemed an obvious choice, but the limited internal space, and access for fuel delivery presented a number of significant challenges. After examining the options, a compact wood pellet system, based on a high efficiency Okofen boiler was specified. It provides all the necessary space heating and hot water to keep visitors comfortable right through the year through a combination of radiators and under floor heating.
Although conversions of an old and listed building can be a challenge, on the positive side, Nant y Coy’s thick, stone walls prove a very effective heat store which helps smooth out the peaks in demand on the boiler.
