EDREN'S-ST (ST-EDEYRN'S), a parish, in the hundred of DEWISLAND, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 10 miles (N. N. W.)
from Haverfordwest, containing 113 inhabitants. This parish, which is of very small extent, is for the most part enclosed
and cultivated. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry and diocese of St. David's, endowed with £800 royal
bounty, and 200 parliamentary grant, and in the patronage of the Precentor and Upper Chapter in the Cathedral Church of
St. David's. The grass in the churchyard is asserted by many residents in the vicinity to be a specific for preserving
both men and cattle from the effects of the bite of a mad dog: by the former it is eaten with bread and butter, and the
latter are turned in to graze upon it; and in those which in that condition have eaten it no symptoms of madness have
afterwards appeared, while, on the contrary, such as would not have uniformly died in a short time: the grass is the
perquisite of the parish clerk, and in the wall of the chancel is a cavity, into which is put whatever persons choose to
pay for eating it. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £24.
