Roedd y bilygau hyn yn perthyn i Gymdeithas Elusennol y Brythoniaid Hynafol, a oedd yn cwrdd yn yr Old Red House yn Drenewydd yn Notais, Sir Forgannwg. Roedd tanysgrifiad yn daladwy am aelodaeth i'r clwb, a oedd yn darparu gofal a chymorth i gleifion a'r methedig, a phensiwn o 18 ceiniog yr wythnos. Sefydlwyd y gymdeithas ym 1715, a Drenewydd yn Notais oedd un o'i chanolfannau. Roedd aelodau'n ymgynnull ar y dydd Sadwrn agosaf i 10 Medi.

Adysgrif:
'In old documents, members of the club talk with pride of a procession with banners and flags unfurled, each member proudly wearing the red shoulder sash with its characteristic rosette, and carrying at the top of a long staff, the emblem of a trade, in this case a peculiarly shaped bilwg, many of which are still treasured as family heirlooms. Headed by a band, the club would march from Newton to Nottage and, in later years, on to the gradually emerging Porthcawl, returning to Newton Church, when the rector would deliver a sermon.'

The society was originally formed in memory of the death of St John the Baptist. After the procession and the church service, members would proceed to the loft of the Jolly Sailor for dinner and dancing. Increasing numbers of pensioners in later years made young men indifferent, and the society ceased to function in 1896.'
