BRYN-EGLWYS, a parish, in the hundred of YALE, county of DENBIGH, NORTH WALES, 5 miles (N. W.) from Llangollen, containing 450 inhabitants. This parish is situated among mountains of various elevation, and characterized by boldness of scenery. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry and diocese of St. Asaph, endowed with £200 private benefaction, and £800 royal bounty, and in the patronage of the Bishop of St. Asaph. The church is a small edifice, having no claim to architectural notice. There are places of worship for Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists. Mr. J. Jones bequeathed a rent- charge of £6, payable out of the estate of T$ yn y Wern, for the instruction of poor children of the parish; at present ten boys derive benefit, from this endowment. Near His yn Yale, in the mountainous part of the parish, is a copious spring, possessing precisely the same properties as the water of Holywell, and producing the mosses Jungermannia Asplenioides, and Conferva Gelatinosa, the fragrance of which is more powerful than that of the mosses of St. Winifred's well. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £277.16.
