Dist:0.4km<br/>Dyma fedd Mary Evans, morwyn 17 oed, a ddarganfuwyd yn farw ar y 1af Medi 1844 mewn pwll o waed mewn cae ger Ffarm Rhyd y Gwydd, Taliaris. Torrwyd ei gwddwg a chyllell neu raser. Ni ddaethpwyd o hyd i'w llofrudd (awgrym efallai taw hunanladdiad ydoedd?). Fodd bynnag, mae'r gerdd ar ei charreg fedd ym Mynwent Eglwys Llangathen yn darllen fel a ganlyn:

Nid Nychlyd, Nid clefyd a'm clo's,
Nid ing, nid angau dihir loes,
Nid hennaint (sic) aeth a'm heinioes
Ond Dyn a fu yn dwyn fy oes.

The gravestone of Mary Evans, a seventeen year old servant girl, who was found dead on 1st September 1844 in a pool of blood near Rhyd y Gwydd Farm, Taliaris. Her throat had been cut. Her killer was never caught (a suggestion perhaps that it may have been suicide?). Neverthless, the deceased informs the reader in the above Welsh poem that she didn't die from an illness nor from a horrible and painful disease. Neither did she die from distress nor from old age. But that her life was cut short by a man! She was buried at Llangathen Churchyard

Dist:0.5km<br/>From the Bishop Rudd's Walk, there is a good view over the main house. The courtyard area in the centre is now covered by a glass roof to form the Ninfarium, housing tropical planting. The name Ninfarium was derived from the amazing gardens at Ninfa, which are situated south of Rome.
