Llangar, Merionethshire, Wales Genealogy

History
Llangar is a rural village and ecclesiastical parish, near Corwen in Denbighshire, Wales. The village is part of the Edeirnion district and today forms part of the community of Cynwyd.

The ancient parish was divided into the townships of Llangar, Cymer and Gwnodl. The township of Gwnodle was detached from the rest of the parish.

In 1854 the townships of Cynwyd Fawr, Cynwyd Fechan and Bodheulog were transferred to the parish of Llangar from the parish of Gwyddelwern. The 13th century parish church of All Saints in Llangar was abandoned in favour of the new church of St. John the Evangelist, which was built in the village of Cynwyd.

Although the old parish church at Llangar fell into disrepair, it has now been restored and is managed by CADW.

The area is predominantly Welsh-speaking.
