History
"LLANGINNING (LLAN-GYNIN), a parish in the higher division of the hundred of DERLLYS, union and county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 2 1/2 miles (W.N.W.) from St. Clear's; containing 405 inhabitants. This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Cynin, or from its situation on the river Cynin, by which it is bounded on the eastern side, contains a considerable tract of land, and with the exception of a very small portion, is inclosed and in a good state of cultivation. A fair is held on January 18th. . . The church has no architectural claim to particular description. There is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists; and from thirty to forty children are instructed in a day school at the expense of their parents." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1844).] For more information see Llangynin, Carmarthenshire at genuki.org.uk
