History
LLÊCHYLCHED (LLÊCH-YLCHED), a parish, in the hundred of Llyvon, union and county of Anglesey, North Wales, 7 miles (S. E. by E.) from Holyhead. This parish is situated in the south-western part of the island, on the road from Bangor to Holyhead, and is intersected by the Chester and Holyhead line of railway. The church, a small edifice dedicated to St. Ylched, is situated in a marshy valley watered by a stream that falls into the bay of Carnarvon, and in the midst of scenery of an unprepossessing and dreary character, close by the road to Holyhead; it is now abandoned, or, if used at all, used merely for the performance of the burial service. A new church, much more conveniently and pleasantly situated, has been erected in the village of Bryngwran. There are places of worship for Baptists, Independents, and Calvinistic Methodists.
