==History== Historically, Aberwheeler formed a township of the ancient parish of Bodfari, which also comprised Maesmynan and Blorant. At one point the manor was owned by Gwenllian. A mill was situated in Aberwheeler from medieval times. Aberwheeler mill was burnt in 1403, though it was later leased to Thomas Londisdale and Henry Billiger in November 1408 on the grounds that they rebuild it. Today, further north, on the banks of the river, stands Candy Mill, a clover mill built to extract clover seed. The mill is Grade II* listed, while Aberwheeler House and Castell Bach are Grade II listed.
