Address/Location:
OS Grid Ref: SN6243886879
Opened: before 1841      
Closed: c. 1917       Type: Pub
Notes: 'The True Ivorite Society was established in the area in 1841 with 90 members, which later increased to over 300 in number. It was called the Castell Gwallter Society, and met in the Black Lion Inn, Llandre, before the Club House (Ty Clwb) was built. The grave of the first housekeepers, John and Lydia James, Ty Clwb, is in the cemetery.
David and Margaretta Thomas, Black Lion Inn, Llandre are buried here. Her brother was the Revd T L Williams, a canon in Newtown; he lived in the vicarage, which was called 'Croesawdy'. He was fervently anti-alchohol, and persuaded Margaretta to close the Black Lion Inn in 1917[1915?], and name the house 'Croesawdy'.
