BODIDRIS (BOD-IDRIS), a township, in the parish of LLANARMON, partly in the hundred of MOLD, county of FLINT, and partly in
that of YALE, county of DENBIGH, NORTH WALES, 10 miles (W. by N.) from Wrexham. The population is returned with the
parish. This place derives its name from Idris, son of Llewelyn Aurdorchog, or " of the golden torquis," one of the
ancient lords of Yale. The mansion, which is large and of considerable antiquity, was formerly the residence of the
Lloyds, the last of whom, Sir Evan Lloyd, Bart., dying without male issue, the estate descended to Evan Lloyd Vaughan,
Esq., in right of his mother, daughter of Sir Evan, and subsequently, by maternal descent, to Sir Thomas Mostyn, Bart.,
who, dying unmarried, left it, with the bulk of his extensive landed possessions, to his sister's son, Edward Mostyn Lloyd
Mostyn, Esq. Here is a charity school, but it has no particular endowment.
