BODEWRYD (BOD-EWRYD), a parish, in the hundred of TWRCELYN, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 3 miles (W. S. W.) from
Amlwch, containing 35 inhabitants. This small parish was formerly comprehended in that of Llaneilian, from which it was
detached, and formed into a parish of itself, within the last thirty years. It consists only of two farm-houses, one of
them anciently the mansion of the Wynne family, with their respective farms, and has no parochial officers, either
ecclesiastical or civil: in levying the county rate it is, with the parish of Gwredog, considered as a fourth division to
the three contained in the parish of Amlwch. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and
diocese of Bangor, endowed, in 1722, with one hundred and twenty-one acres of land, and a rent-charge of £2, by Dr Wynne,
Chancellor of Hereford, and subsequently with £800 royal bounty, and in the patronage of Sir John Thomas Stanley, Bart.
The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a small ancient edifice, containing some monuments to the Wynnes, proprietors of the
parish, and a brass recording the munificence of Dr. Wynne, above noticed, who lies entombed in the church. A parochial
school has been founded, and is supported at the expense of Lady Stanley, for the education of female children of this and
the adjoining parishes.
