2. The small estate of Begelly was owned by the Child family from early eighteenth century until 1919 when it was sold off in parcels, the house with its gardens ending up as a separate entity. The Child name occurs in late medieval Tenby and in fifteenth century Begelly. John Child was High Sheriff in 1725. The family prospered with the development of the anthracite industry. The present house, a rather stark cube, was probably built/rebuilt in the second quarter of the nineteenth century and a number of trees, some of which remain, were planted at this time.
