HENLLAN (HEN-LLAN), a parish, in the upper division of the hundred of TROEDYRAUR, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 3 miles
(E.) from NewcastleEmlyn, containing 122 inhabitants. This parish is beautifully situated on the river Teivy, over which
here is an ancient bridge of three arches, with projecting angular piers, from which the turnpike road from Newcastle-
Emlyn to Carmarthen, on which it is situated, is continued through the village. The scenery on the banks of the Teivy, at
this place, is strikingly picturesque and beautiful, the channel of the stream being contracted by huge masses of
projecting rock, over which the river rushes with great impetuosity, and the banks on both sides are ornamented with
extensive and luxuriant groves. In this parish are some interesting cascades, formed by a rivulet which falls into the
Teivy, a little above the bridge: these are called Frydian Henllan, or the " Henllan Falls," and are the most picturesque
in this part of the Vale of Teivy. Henllan is within the lordship of Dyfryn Teivy and Atpar, belonging to the Bishop of
St. David's, and comprising the entire parishes of Bangor and Henllan, with part of that of Llandyvriog, and two farms in
that of LlandysilioGogo: courts for the lordship are held at Trebedic, in this parish. The living is a rectory not in
charge, annexed to that of Bangor, in the archdeaconry of Cardigan, and diocese of St. David's. The church is a very small
edifice, not characterized by any remarkable architectural feature, but interesting from its secluded and picturesque
situation. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £29. 8.
