PENDINE, or PEN-TYWYN, a parish, in the union of NARBERTH, higher division of the hundred of DERLLYS,
county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 54 miles (W. by S.) from Laugharne; containing 204 inhabitants. This parish is
beautifully situated on the shore of Carmarthen bay, by which it is bounded on the south, and over which it commands a
fine prospect; and comprises about 1000 acres, the whole, with the exception of a common of 100 acres, affording good
pasturage, inclosed, and in a state of cultivation. It is bounded on the north by the parish of Eglwys-Cummin, on the east
by that of Laugharne, and on the west by that of Marros. The soil is of a clayey and sandy quality, producing wheat and
barley; the surface is rocky and hilly. On the beach, which is well adapted for the purpose of sea-bathing, and affords a
pleasing walk, is a natural cavern, from which issues a small rivulet running into the bay. The living is a rectory not in
charge, annexed to that of Llandawke: the tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £67, subject to rates, averaging
£5. 16. per annum. The church, which is pleasantly situated, is a plain structure, erected about thirty. years since, and
is 34 feet long by 16 broad; the sittings are all free, with the exception of about six pews, attached to the farms of
the parish.
