Early C19 picturesque Gothic cottage, built for the Gogerddan estate, on the land of Gloucester Hall, now Plas Gwyn, a Gogerddan dower house. Marked on the 1845 Tithe map. On the 1841-71 census called Cwrt-y-fansi and on the 1881 census Court-by-fancy, which name appears on the gravestone at Horeb chapel of Morgan Hughes, a gardener at Gogerddan who died in 1872. The name according to Sir Lewis Loveden Pryse (died 1946) came from a question when the house was built 'What are you going to call that house up the road? It caught my fancy'. From which it was known as 'caught-my-fancy'.
