Glendower House was built on the site of Barnyards Mill over 100 years ago and has been home to wealthy merchants and traders. The name Glendower is folk lore in Wales where Owen Glendower sought to make Wales the dominant force in the United Kingdom. Owen Glendower, with the help of the French challenged the English who lay siege to the Welsh army who eventually retreated. Owen Glendower disappeared, and his fate is still a mystery today. Glendower house is on Commercial Road which is a continuation of Cowper Road. William Cowper is one of East Derehamﾒs most famous sons and it was a relative of William Cowper who wrote a novel all about Owen Glendower - that is one explanation as to how the house got its name.
