PENTIR, a hamlet, formerly a parish, now merged with the parish of BANGOR, to which it has become a hamlet, in the
hundred of ISGORVAI, county of CARNARVON, NORTH WALES, 4 miles (S.) from Bangor, with which the population is returned.
This place, which is situated among hills, after being repeatedly united to, and separated from, the parish of Bangor, was
at length finally consolidated with it by the result of an action tried at Shrewsbury, in 1657, at the suit of Meredith v.
Maurice. The living, once a vicarage not in charge, is now annexed to the benefice of Bangor; and the tithes belong to the
vicars- choral of the cathedral of that city.
