LLANENGHENEDL (LLAN-ENGHENEL), a parish, in the hundred of LLYVON, union of ANGLESEY and county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES,
2 miles (W.) from Bodedern; containing 445 inhabitants. This parish forms a level and fertile district, watered by
numerous rivulets, and comprises a considerable extent of inclosed and well-cultivated land. The village is pleasantly
situated on the old Holyhead road, and the new line of road to that place passes through a considerable portion of the
parish. The surrounding scenery, though not distinguished by any peculiarity of feature, is generally pleasing, and the
adjacent country is finely varied. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llanvachreth. The church,
dedicated to St. Enghenel, commander of the British forces under Cadvan, in the memorable battle of Chester, in 603, and
said to have been erected about the commencement of the seventh century, is a small but lofty edifice, situated on a rock,
close to the road leading from Llangevni to Holyhead; several parts of the present structure display marks of very great
antiquity. There is a place of worship for Wesleyans: about 25 children are instructed in a day school at the expense of
their parents; and there is a Sunday school held in a room built by Calvinistic Methodists, in which 70 children are
taught gratuitously. Several small charitable donations and bequests have been made by various benefactors for the relief
of the poor.
