is watered by a small stream, which, after flowing through it, falls into the sea near Aberbich. The surrounding scenery
is not distinguished by any peculiarity of feature, though from the higher grounds some good views are obtained over the
channel and the adjacent country. Tregwynt, the ancient mansion of the family of Harries, a branch of that seated at
Priskilly, is within this parish. The living is a discharged vicarage, annexed to that of Mathrey, in the archdeaconry and

interred here. There is a large place of worship for Baptists. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor
is £67. 10.
