LLANGUNLLO (LLAN-GYNLLO), a parish, in the union of NEWCASTLE-EMLYN, upper division of the hundred of TROEDYRAUR, county
of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 4 miles (N. E. by E.) from Newcastle-Emlyn; containing 639 inhabitants. This parish, which
derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Cynllo, is pleasantly situated on the turnpike-road from
Cardigan through Troedyraur to Lampeter '  and is bounded on the north by the parish of Troe 9 dyraur on the south by
those of Henllan and Llanvair-Or11wyn, on the west by that of Brongwyn, and on the south-east by that of Liandyssil. It
comprises by computation 3500 acres, of which 1000 are arable, 2000 pasture, and 500 woodland; the soil is in some parts
stony, but in general fertile, running into several varieties, and the chief produce of the parish is corn, pigs, and
horned cattle; the surface is undulated and mountainous, and the scenery picturesque and beautiful. The upper grounds
command some extensive and interesting prospects, and from the eminence on which the church is built is obtained a fine
view over the beautiful vale, above which stands the mansion of Bronwydd: the only streams are two inconsiderable
rivulets, which, however, contribute to the interest and beauty of the grounds through which they take their course, and
are ornamented with several fine plantations of fir. In the immediate vicinity are some fine estates, comprehending those
of Gern6s, Penyboily, Nantyddwylan, and It'. rookfield. Bronwydd, the residence of the late patriotic Colonel Lloyd, who
commanded the Teivy-side volunteers, and subsequently the Fishguard and Newton fendbles, is a handsome mansion,
beautifully situated on the summit of an eminence richly clothed with wood, and overlooking a deep and sequestered vale,
watered by a rapid and turbulent stream, which falls into the Teivy at Henllan. Gera's, formerly the mansion of the family
of Lewis, afterwards of Major Parry, by marriage of his ancestor, Thomas Parry, of Cwm Cynon, Esq., with the heiress of
that family, is a good house, pleasantly situated in grounds comprehending much varied and pleasing scenery. There is a
flag-stone quarry in which two or three hands are occasionally employed. The living is a discharged rectory, rated in the
king's books at £6. 13. 4., and in the patronage of the freeholders and leaseholders of the parish: the tithes have been
commuted for a rent-charge of £175; and there is a glebe of 120 acres, valued at £80 per annum; also a glebe-house. The
church, dedicated to St. Cynllo, a saint of the fifth century, who was eminent for the sanctity of his life and the
austerity of his manners, is a neat edifice, situated on a commanding eminence, and rebuilt at the sole expense of the
parishioners; it is thirty-five feet in length and sixteen in breadth, and consists of a nave and chancel appropriately
fitted up for divine service. About thirty children of both sexes are instructed in a day school, and about twenty are
taught gratuitously in a Sunday school. A bequest of £20, by William Hugh, in 1779, for the benefit of the poor, has been
lost by the party in trust becoming insolvent.
