The author
Patrick O'Brian and his wife Mary were residents of this village from 1945 to 1949, living first at the cottage Fron Wen and later at a larger house Moelwyn Bank. In the early 1960s, the author
Philip O'Connor spent several years in Croesor, which served as the basis for
Living In Croesor (1962), an account of the village and its people. Novelist, playwright, and poet
Richard A.W. Hughes lived at
Parc, in the vicinity of Croesor, beginning in 1934 and continuing into the Second World War. Hughes sheltered evacuee children there and collected the stories they told together. == See also ==
