"Ceiniog Mawr means a great penny," said I, "why is it called by that name?" "I have heard, sir, that before it was an inn it was a very considerable place, namely a royal mint, at which pennies were made, and on that account it was called Ceiniog Mawr." I was subsequently told that the name of this place was Cernioge Mawr.
"Don't crow quite yet, old chap," thought I to myself, and putting my hand into my pocket, I took out a penny, and offering it to the child said: "Now, small man, Peth yw y enw y lle hwn?" Instantly the boy's face became intelligent, and putting out a fat little hand, he took the ceiniog and said in an audible whisper, "Waen y Bwlch."
"What is the name of this place?" said I to him in English as he drew nigh. "Sir," said the man, "the name of the house is Ceiniog Mawr." "Is it an inn?" said I. "Not now, sir; but some years ago it was an inn, and a very large one, at which coaches used to stop; at present it is occupied by an amaethwr that is a farmer, sir."
