History
LLANVIHANGEL-TÀLYLLYN (LLAN-FIHANGEL-TÀL-Y-LLYN), a parish, in the hundred of Tàlgarth, union and county of Brecknock, South Wales, 4½ miles (E.) from Brecknock. It derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Michael, and its distinguishing adjunct from its situation at the head or north-western extremity of the beautiful lake called Llangorse Pool, or Llyn Savaddan. The church is an ancient structure, consisting of a nave and chancel, with a massive square tower at the west end; it is beautifully situated at the extremity of the lake, and kept in good repair. There is a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists, in which a Sunday school is held.

Llanfihangel Talyllyn Church is in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, in the community of Llangors in the county of Powys. For further information see Lllanfihangel Tal-y-llyn at genuki.org.uk
