<li>Gyffin was &#8216;founded&#8217; by the native Welsh population of the town of Aberconwy when they were evicted  by Edward I.  Edward populated his new town with English traders and the Welsh were moved beyond the river and not allowed to trade within Conwy.</li>
<li>The name is the simple mutation of cyffin the welsh word for border</li>
<li>The border was the river the Avon Gyffin or Border river which marked the line of demarkation between the Welsh and the English.</li>
<li> In the 13th Century St Benedict&#8217;s Church there is a stone with the inscription HIC IACAT LLYWELYN AP IORWERTH. This is rumoured to be the gravestone of the founder of Aberconwy, moved to Gyffin by loyal Welshmen when Edward founded Conwy.</li>
<li>The Church was extended in the 15th Century to tend to the spiritual needs of the Gyffin population as they were excluded from attending mass within the walls of Conwy.</li>
<li>The parish of Gyffin remained independent of Conwy until 1925</li>
<li>In 1890 a skirmish took place in Henryd Road when a Wesleyan minister attempted to bury one William Williams in the &#8216;Anglican&#8217; church yard.  The curate of St Benedicts and the Wesleyan minister harangued each other over the grave and fights broke out.  Eventually it was agreed that the burial could take place as long as no gravestone was erected.</li>
<li>The village lost its only pub, The Foresters&#8217; Arms, at the turn of the 20th century.  It is alleged that this was as a result of the pub staying open on the day of Queen Victoria&#8217;s funeral, the only house in Britain to do so.  This however seems to be apocryphal as the Foresters&#8217; remained open until 1903 two years after the Queen&#8217;s passing.</li>
<li>Gyffin was the second tollgate on the on the Caernarfonshire Turnpike which ran from Llanrwst to Pwllheli.  The first was at Gwydir, between Lanrwst and Trefew.</li>
<li>The sculptor and friend of Queen Victoria, John Gibson was born in Gyffin in 1790.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The building is a grade II listed school house dating from 1904.  The building is in a poor state of repair and is in need of new facilities.
