==The hall's history== thumb|right|Coat of Arms of Hwfa ap Cynddelw The manor was originally owned by Hwfa Ap Cynddelw, circa 1100. Hwfa was once considered a man of rank and the wealthiest man on the island of Anglesey and was one of the founding members of the Fifteen Tribes of Wales. Hwfa was a part of the royal court of Aberffraw, and had been seneschal to the King of Gwynedd, and represented Owain Gwynedd during a coronation of the Gwynedd Prince.<ref name=google>{{google book|id=vHA_AQAAMAAJ|title=A History of the Island of Mona, Or Anglesey|page=189}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.geni.com/people/Hwfa-ap-Cynddelw-Lord-of-Llifon/6000000004376964537| website=geni.com|title=Hwfa ap Cynddelw, Lord of Llifon}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theheraldrysociety.com/articles/arms-of-the-xv-noble-tribes-of-north-wales/|website=theheraldrysociety.com|title=Arms of the XV Noble Tribes of North Wales|author=Francis Jones|access-date=13 December 2022}}</ref> Centuries later, the Lewis family made Presaddfed their family seat.
