Ystumllyn Estate in Cricieth, north Wales was once owned by the Wynn family. The property then fell into the hands of Humphrey Jones, a Machynlleth solicitor, before being sold in 1837 to Rowland Jones of Broom Hall.
Robert Roberts was a tenant at Ystumllyn for Broom Hall. Evidently, he was a farmer of some importance and standing in the community. He was also a literary man who took an interest in Welsh poetry in particular.
