In common with almost all streets in Newport, houses in Fields Park Road now have numbers. Kelly's Directory of 1901 shows no numbers for this and adjacent houses, only names. It is interesting to speculate which of several Penderyns inspired the name. Penderyn is a village Image in Rhondda Cynon Taf, or a type of whisky made in Wales since the 19th century. Another possibility is Dic Penderyn, born 1808, who was treated as a martyr across Britain after he was hanged in 1831 on what were widely considered to be trumped-up charges of stabbing a soldier during the 1831 Merthyr Uprising.
