The New House Inn is owned by Mrs Jane Hampton and managed by her family after being in the Edwards family for over two centuries.

The Inn had been in Mr David Edward's family for several generations since his grandmother inherited the pub and with no more Edwards' to take over the Inn, it changed hands to another family, albeit, to distant relations of the Edwards' family as it would appear.

Mr David Edwards and his wife Rickey (daughter of a pub landlord at the Corbett Arms in Nantymoel, Ogmore Valley) took over the running of the Inn in 1974, where David's mother, Mary Edwards, worked behind the bar almost until her death in March 2005.

Dave and Rickey have now retired and live in Sycamore Grange behind the New House itself - a grand house recently refurbished which was originally the family house of Glyn and Mary Edwards (Dave Edwards' parents).

The Inn itself was previously owned and run by Mr David Edward's parents, Glyn and Mary Edwards. Mary was from Cardiff and used to visit Cornelly for her holidays. It was during one of these holidays that she met Glyn Edwards living in the New House. They married in Cardiff before returning to the New House as landlord and landlady.

Prior to this Jack and Polly Edwards originally ran the establishment.

Originally the New House was bought by Mrs Polly Edward's grandfather and was leased to two licensees, Loveluck and Jenkins.

In it's early days the New House was a Malt House, brewing its own beer and at one time a butcher's shop operated from the corner section of the present day bar darts and television room.

The present day cellar alongside the Inn itself used to be a thatched cottage where Mr David Edward's grandmother used to live.

There used to be three pubs close to each other many years ago along this part of the old Cornelly road to Pyle - The Old House (now demolished on Broadlands Estate green), The Cornelly Arms and The New House Inn itself. Some old photos of North Cornelly around the vicinity of the New House are included on this page.
