LLANGUNNOCK (LLAN-GYNOG), a parish, in the higher division of the hundred of DERLLYS, union of CARMARTHEN and county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 6 miles (S. W. by S.) from Carmarthen; containing 800 inhabitants. This place is situated a little to the north of Carmarthen bay, and is bounded by the parishes of Mydrim and Merthyr on the north, by that of Llanstephan on the south, on the east by that of Llangain, and on the west by that of Llanviliangel-Abercowin. It comprises about 5429 acres of good land, chiefly amble, and has been greatly improved since the year 1806, when an act of parliament was obtained, under the provisions of which more than five thousand acres within its limits have been allotted and inclosed, the greater part of it being now in a good state of cultivation. The surrounding scenery, with few exceptions, is tame and uninteresting, though some of the distant views are picturesque and beautiful; and the only stream, with the exception of a few brooks, is the river Cywyn, which falls into the Tfif a few miles below St. Clear's. The soil is poor, rocky, and barren, and the chief produce is oats and barley, with a little wheat. The manor of Penryn, which is co-extensive with the parish, contains an ancient family mansion called Cwm, situated in a well-wooded, romantic spot, and which appears to have been formerly a place of considerable extent and importance: there is also a neat, genteel residence, named Fern-hill, which is pleasantly situated. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to that of Llanstephan; and the tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £252. The church, dedicated to St. Cynog, is a very plain edifice, consisting of two aisles, and had originally windows in the early English style, which have been changed for modern sash-lights; it is sixty-three feet in length and thirty-two in breadth, and contains sittings for two hundred persons, all of which are free, except those belonging to two large pews, the property of the Cwm estate. There are places of worship for Baptists and Independents. Here is a parochial school, on the common in the manor of Penryn, said to have been founded by Judge Vaughan, of DerlIks, and endowed with two cottages and about two acres of land, together with an allotment of above an acre, on the inclosure of the parish in 1808; which endowment was subsequently augmented, by Mr. John Vaughan, with a rent-charge of £5, for clothing eight poor children, and providing them with books; there are about thirty-five children in the school, of whom eight are instructed gratuitously. This establishment, which is called the New Well Charity, is traditionally said to have originated from a cure performed on Judge Vaughan by the water of a spring called the New Well, near the site of the present school-house, over the entrance to which is a stone with the following inscription: " This is a charity school for ever, built at the recommendation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, by the lord, freeholders, and inhabitants of this manor of Penrin, A.D. 1705." There is also a Sunday school, in which fifty males and females are taught gratuitously by the dissenters. Mr. John Popkin, in 1713, bequeathed £10, now lost; and in 1771, Mr. David James left £100, the interest of which latter, together with the dividends arising from £214. 2. 6. three per cent. Bank annuities, bequeathed in 1822, by Miss Theodosia Laugharne, of the town of Laugharne, is annually distributed among the aged and infirm poor of the parish.
