History
This parish name is officially spelled Ysbyty Ystradmeurig.

Ystrad Meurig (or Ystradmeurig) is a village in Ceredigion, Wales. It lies on the B4340 road northwest of the town of Tregaron.Ystrad Meurig was the site of a Grammar School founded by Edward Richard in about 1734. It subsequently offered pupils a course which included significant elements of Classics and Divinity. The school was thereby enabled to provide a basic training for many Welsh language speakers who wished to enter the ordained ministry - being one of the few establishments licensed for the purpose by the Bishop of St. David's. Several former pupils were later to achieve considerable distinction within the Welsh church. [from Wikipedia]
