In 1675 Sir Roger Mostyn of Mostyn purchased the manor and mansion house of Penbedw from Owen Thelwall of Blaen-Ial for £1,360. This, and other purchases made by Sir Roger, were eventually conveyed by him to his son Richard and his heirs upon his marriage to Charlotta Digby in 1687. Their daughter married Richard Williams whose heir was Watkin Williams who married Elizabeth Stapleton, great-granddaughter of John Digby. On the 9th September 1852 William Barber Buddicom bought Penbedw for £46,000. The abstract of the title noted that the former owners were Thomas Mostyn Williams (manor and lordship of Penbedw), Richard Williams, Sir Rowland Hill, E. Kynaston (probably during a period of minority or mortgage), Watkin Williams and Annabella Puleston. In 1853 the particulars of the sale noted that the estate comprised 1,820 acres. William Barber Buddicom was a locomotive and civil engineer. He worked on the Grand Junction railway and designed the 'Crewe' type engine before moving to France to work on the Paris and Rouen railway. He amassed his fortune by buying shares in the fledgling railway companies which gained value as the popularity of the railway system increased. He bought more land in the area, buying the Hope-Owen property in Hope in 1856-1857, and the Cilcain Hall estate for £15,000 in 1873. Coal reserves were also found in the Penbedw estate in this period and land from Penbedw was used to accommodate the Mold and Denbigh railway line. Harry William Buddicom, son of William Barber Buddicom inherited the Penbedw estate on the death of his elder brother, Walter Hownam Buddicom, in 1892. Harry added the 3,000 acre Nant Glyn estate to the Penbedw estate. He was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Venetia Digby Buddicom, who lived at Penbedw on the death of her father in 1925. On her death in 1969 the property was bought by Effold Developers.
