The Cwlwm-y-Brodoriaeth Lodge (No 1754), Pentwyn  was founded at the White Horse Inn, Pentwyn, during May 1913 and by November of that year there were 48 members. It closed on 30 September 1976.

On Whitsunday  June 1914  a very successful church parade promoted by the brothers of the ‘Cwlwm-y-Brodoriaeth’ Lodge No. 1754, took place. A large number were present, including many from other lodges in the locality. The Lodge, which was just over a year old, was in a flourishing state, meetings being held weekly at the lodge-room in the White Horse Inn, Pentwyn. The weather was very favourable for the parade, the first of its kind in Fochriw. The procession was headed by the Deri Silver Band, under the conductorship of Mr. Wm. Powell. The principal streets of Fochriw and Pentwyn were visited, appropriate march tunes being played en route. The service took place at St. Andrews Church, Pentwyn, the building being packed to the doors. Bro. J. C. Payne, chaplain of the Lodge, preached the sermon, mentioning that one of the chief objects of Buffaloism was philanthropy. Pure and undefiled religion before God, he said, was ‘to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, to comfort and relieve all distressed and helpless persons.’ Buffaloism was practising this religion. He referred to the orphanage at Aldridge, Staffs., where noble work was going on. At that time there were 30 boys and 20 girls in residence, being cared for in every respect. At the time of the Senghenydd disaster, when a large number of brothers lost their lives, a fund was opened, and the substantial sum of £732. 4s. 8d. was raised. He impressed all brothers present to continue the good work.

In May 1916 the Lodge headquarters was transferred to the Mount Pleasant Inn, Pentwyn

October 1921 was the first newspaper report which mentioned the Lodge at Pantywaun.

In May 1935 a new Lodge, known as the Brynderwen Lodge 7284 was inaugurated at the Rising Sun Inn, Fochriw.

During May 1963 the 50th Anniversary of the Cwlwm-y-Brodoriaeth Lodge of the Royal and Ancient Order of Buffaloes was celebrated. It closed on  28 August 1958
