PENRHOS (PEN-RHOS), a parish, in the union of PWLLHELI, hundred of GAFLOGION, Lleyn division of the county of CARNARVON,
NORTH WALES, 2 miles (W. s. W.) from Pwllheli; containing 106 inhabitants. This parish, which is situated on the western
shore of Cardigan bay, is of moderate extent, comprising only a small portion of arable and pasture, with some common; in
many parts the soil is poor and sandy, and a considerable portion of the land will scarcely repay the labour and expense
of cultivation. The rateable annual value is returned at £348. 7. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the
vicarage of Abereirch: the tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £62. 10., of which £55 are payable to the
impropriator, and £7. 10. to the incumbent. The church, dedicated to St. Cynwyl, is a handsome and neat building, erected
on the site of the old edifice, in 1842. There is a Sunday school, in which about fifty males and females are gratuitously
taught by Calvinistic Methodists.
