History
LLANLLAWDDOG (LLAN-LLAW-DDOG), a parish, in the lower division of the hundred of ELVET, union and county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 8 miles (N.E. by N.) from Carmarthen. This parish is pleasantly situated nearly in the centre of the county, upon the great turnpike-road leading from Carmarthen to Lampeter; and comprises a very extensive tract of land, of which a considerable portion is open and uncultivated. The surrounding country, though not distinguished by any striking peculiarity of feature, is agreeably diversified with hill and vale, in some of the latter of which are interesting combinations of rural and picturesque beauty. At a short distance from the church is the seat, lately rebuilt, of John Lloyd Price, Esq., high sheriff of the county in 1840, whose estate, on which he annually employs a considerable number of the poor, who would otherwise become burthensome to the parish, is principally situate here. The church, which is not remarkable for any architectural details, was formerly dependent on that of Aberguilly, but was separated from it by an act of parliament. There are one or two places of worship for dissenters, and two Sunday schools.
