Mae ty uchel ei statws wedi bodoli ar y llecyn hwn ers y 14g. Yn 1670 dywedwyd bod 17 lle tan yno. Un o'r teuluoedd cyntaf i fyw yn Nhaliaris oedd y Gwyniaid. Yn 1787 prynwyd y ty gan yr Arglwydd Robert Seymour a phan fu farw yn 1831 fe werthwyd y ty gan ei weddw i Robert Peel, dyn busnes o Sir Gaerhirfryn (roedd e'n gefnder i Syr Robert Peel, sylfaenydd yr heddlu). Ailfodelwyd y plas yn ystod y cyfnod hwn. Bu'r plas yn eiddo i'r teulu hyd at 1954. O fewn y ty ceir murluniau a grisiau yn dyddio o'r 17g. Ym meili'r plas addaswyd talwrn ceiliogod ymladd yn ystod yn 19g i fod yn yn bantri anifeiliaid hela. A high status house has existed on this site since the fourteenth century. In 1670 the mansion was reported to have contained 17 hearths. The first known occupants to reside at Taliaris were the Gwynne Family. In 1787 the house was bought by Lord Robert Seymour. He died in 1831, aged 83, and his widow then sold the house and estate in 1833 to Robert Peel, a Lancashire businessman (first cousin to Sir Robert Peel who founded the police force). The present mansion was remodelled during this period (circa 1833). The house remained in the family until 1954. Within the house are wall paintings and a stairway dating from the seventeenth century. Other interesting features include a former cockpit which was raised and roofed during the early nineteenth century and used a game larder.
