The Mill gave the Village its Name: Melin y Coed - Mill in the Trees, or Mill in the Woods.
Many people remember eating bread made from its flour.
The mill dates from the 1700s and was in use until the first half of the twentieth century. It was built on the site of an earlier mill. In the 1700s Melin-y-Coed consisted of the mill, Mill Bank house, the seven cottages, Ty Newydd and the outlying farms, as well as Cyffdy Hall, the oldest building in the village, which dates back to 1596.
