Mabel Davies who began as a 'pupil teacher' when she was 12 year's old and worked there until 1934.
Derrick's father W.Rhyddech Evans was the last headmaster of Penygaer School.
Derrick recalls - 'When I read the bit about Glyntaf, two things I
remember about Mrs Prethero Beynon. She used to come to the shop, which Parry
Lewis ran, in her pony and trap,and when she left, if I was around,she would give me a ride
over to the station. She was also leader with the Otter Hounds. I can see her now
in blue jacket and plus-fours wading through the river under the bridge with the hounds and her
followers.She was quite a lady!'
