Newydd ddod ar draws cyfeiriad difyr -

Castlering Organic Woodland Pork
Castlering Wood,
Beggars Bush,
Evenjobb,
Powys

Gweld yn Briws mai Einsiob yw enw Cymraeg "Evenjobb" ond dyma welais i yma

"The name of the village means Even’s copse or wood. When the parish was formed in 1870, it was called Evancoyd, which means the same thing but in Welsh. The village as a whole is referred to by either name, but the true Evancoyd is centred on Evancoyd Court, a large house standing to the north of the settlement. ... In 2001, Powys County Council erected new signs, without consulting the villagers, giving an apparently made up name of Einsiob to the village. I have been unable to find any justification for this other than the present insistence for having a "welsh" name added to the signs!"

Hefyd, "Beggars Bush, a large house, reputedly haunted, which owned and farmed much of the area. But it was not wealthy. King Charles I came through the village with 5000 soldiers and billeted himself at Bush Farm, on the northern border of the parish. Here all that could be offered was a thin gruel and an uncomfortable bed - he moaned that the place should, because of its clear poverty, be called Beggars’ Bush and it has been ever since. The house is still there."
