History
LLANGELER (LLAN-GELER), a parish, in the union of NEWCASTLE-EMLYN, higher division of the hundred of ELVET, county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 5 miles (E. by S.) from Newcastle-Emlyn. It comprises by computation 6414 acres, of which nearly 2000 are arable, 3480 pasture, 900 waste, and the remainder woodland; the surface is undulated, and the surrounding scenery pleasantly varied, embracing a portion of the fertile and picturesque Vale of Teivy. The church, dedicated to St. Celer, is a plain and neat edifice, in good repair. An ancient chapel of ease, dedicated to St. Mary, and thence called "Capel Mair," has been entirely demolished. There is a place of worship which is jointly appropriated to Independents and Presbyterians.
