Thomas Pennant wrote in about 1776 that “The prison where Owen confined his captives was not far from his house, in the parish of Llansanfraid Glyndwrdwy and the place is to this day called ‘’Carchardy Owen Glyndwrdwy’’. Some remains are still to be seen near the church, which form part of a habitable house. It consists of a room 13 feet squareand ten and a half high. The sides consist of three horizontal beams, with upright planks, not four inches asunder, mortised into them. In these are groves in the bottom , as if there had been cross bars, or grates. The roof is exceedingly strong, composed of strong planks almost contiguous. It seems as if there had been two stories;but the upper part at present is evidently modern.[1] In 1794 John Ingleby was employed to make a watercolour record of the building, which stood just to the S.E. of the church and overlooked the river Dee. The building which was thatched and has some timber studding, had also a Gothic arched window and Gothic arched doors. There seems to be evidence for an outer stair leading to a first floor hall, which suggests that that parts of the building could well have been cotemporary with Owen Glyndwr. The site of the building was on the modern Glyndwr Terrace.
