Pen-yr-heol, 217 on the 1841 Tithe Map is now in the parish of Llanover.
In 1800 the Earl of Abergavenny leased Pen-yr-heol to William Rogers aged 38, for the lives of his son William 8 and daughter Mary 3.
In 1821 the Earl of Abergavenny converted Pen-yr-heol into two cottages, on the survey of the same year it is Thomas Evans who is renting a house, garden and plock.
In April 1827 the Earl of Abergavenny transferred the assignment of lease of Thomas Evans and John Morgan to Benjamin Hall. The same year Elizabeth Lewis, spinster of Abergavenny took a lease for one of the properties from Benjamin Hall of Abercarn.
By 1830 Thomas White was renting a cottage and garden from Mr Hall, Thomas and his wife Elizabeth had a son Thomas who was baptised at Llanover church.
The tithe of 1841 says Benjamin Hall is the lease holder, occupying the cottages are Thomas White and Walter Watkins, although the census of 1841 shows only Thomas White 45, his wife Elizabeth also 45 and their children William 15, John 14, Thomas 11, Henry 7 and Mary 4 living at the property.
The White family remained at Pen-yr-heol through to the census of 1851 where Thomas is now 55, a woodcutter, the garden belonging is said to be 1 rood 13 perches.
Pen-yr-heol is missing off the 1861 census as are many of the properties so forward to 1871 when William Jones 42, a labourer from Carmarthen, his wife Jane 41, children John 16, Mary 13, Margaret 10 and William 6 are in residence.
In 1873 the Earl of Abergavenny finally sold the property to Lady Llanover, a document dated December1879 shows William Walters paying income tax for Pen-yr-heol.
William Walters, 58, under gardener, and Elizabeth 52 are in occupation on the 1881 census, William was born in Mamhilad, Elizabeth in Llanellen, living with them is his step-mother Elizabeth Jones.
William Walters appeared as a witness on behalf of the welsh speaking inhabitants of Goytre for a welsh speaking vicar. He was paying £5 rent to Lady Llanover, the Walters family remained at Pen-yr-heol until the late 1890’s when the electoral register shows John Evans in occupation.
The census of 1901 says John Evans is 53, head gardener born in Cardigan, Rachel, his wife is 45, a school mistress born in Glamorgan. Rachel died at Pen-yr-heol, Goytre in 1907 aged 47 and was buried in Llanover churchyard.
In 1911 the census says John Evans is 62, a retired gardener from Llandyssil, his son Aneurin is 23, an engine fitter in a blast furnace, and daughter Lilian 26 are still in occupation at Pen-yr-heol.
In 1944 Mrs M A Davies is mentioned on the land tax, the owner being Llanover estate.
