History
Joseph Jenkins moved to Trecefel, Tregaron, a 180 acre farm, in 1848, as a tenant farmer with his wife and first child. The Reverend Latimer Jones, Vicar of St Peter's Church, Carmarthen, was his landlord. Over the years Joseph Jenkins invested a substantial amount of money in improving Trecefel and was 'regarded as the most successful farm in the county' in the first decade.
