History
"LLANLLWYNY (LLAN-LLAWNWY), a parish, in the union of LAMPETER, higher division of the hundred of CATHINOG, county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 9 miles (S.W.) from Lampter; containing 907 inhabitants. . . It is pleasantly situated on the southern bank of the Teivy, by which it is separated from the county of Cardigan, and is intersected by the turnpike-road from Carmarthen to Lampeter; the land is inclosed and in a good state of cultivation, and the soil in most parts fertile; the surrounding scenery is pleasantly diversified, and the distant views extend over a country abounding with picturesque beauty. . . The church is romantically situated on a rocky eminence, commanding a fine view, and overlooking the river Teivy, which flows at its base. There is a place of worship for Independents: a day school, containing about 60 boys and girls, is partly supported by payments from the parents, and partly by the vicar and others; and there are two Sunday schools, of which one is of the Established Church, and the other appertains to the Independents. . ."
