LLANLLAWDDOG (LLAN-LLAWDDOG), a parish, in the lower division of the hundred of ELVET, union of CARMARTHEN and county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 8 miles (N. E. by N.) from Carmarthen; containing 779 inhabitants. This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church to Llawddog, an eminent British saint, who flourished in the early part of the sixth century, is pleasantly situated nearly in the centre of the county, upon the great turnpike-road leading from Carmarthen to Lampeter and comprises a very extensive tract of land, of which a considerable proportion is open and uncultivated. The surrounding country, though not distinguished by any striking peculiarity of feature, is agreeably diversified with hill and vale, in some of the latter of which are interesting combinations of rural and picturesque beauty. At a short distance from the church is the seat, lately rebuilt, of John Lloyd Price, Esq., high sheriff of the county in 1840, whose estate, on which he annually employs a considerable number of the poor, who would otherwise become burthensome to the parish, is principally situate here. The living is a perpetual curacy, with that of Llanpympsaint annexed, and endowed with £800 royal bounty; net income, £150; patron, Vicar of Aberguilly; appropriators, Dean and Canons of Windsor, whose tithes in Llanllawddog have been commuted for a rent-charge of £200, subject to rates, averaging £5 per annum. The church, which is not remarkable for any architectural details, was formerly dependent upon that of Aberguilly, but was separated from it by an act of parliament. About twenty children of both sexes are instructed in a day school at the expense of their parents; and there are three Sunday schools, conducted gratuitously, in one of which are 60 males and females, who attend the Established Church; the other two appertain to Methodists, and consist of 120. John David bequeathed a rent-charge of XI, which, with another of 5s., continued to be paid out of two farms in the parish until 1832, when they were discontinued; and there are some smaller charitable donations, producing about 15s. per annum, for distribution among the poor.
