Biographical history
Cefn is in the civil parish of the same name, which was formed in 1865 from that part of the parish of St Asaph that lay in Denbighshire. The mansion of Cefn is called occasionally Cefn in Wigfair in early 18th century deeds, and occasionally Cefn Meiriadog in 1790s-1820s deeds, after the townships of Wigfair and Meiriadog between which it lay. The mansion is now called Plas-yn-Cefn, but was called Cefn until at least 1883, and the estate was called the Cefn estate until at least 1892.
The Plas-yn-Cefn estate was owned by the Lloyd family until it failed in the male line with the death in c. 1848 of Edward Lloyd. The estate was inherited by his eldest daughter Anna, who married Herbert Watkin Williams-Wynn (1822-1862), second son of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn of Wynnstay (1772-1840), in about July 1855. The Plas-yn-Cefn estate became part of the Wynnstay estate which in 1873 measured 87,919 acres in Wales, with an estimated rental of £43,274.
