LLANYCRWYS (LLAN-Y-CRWYS), a parish, in the union of LAMPETER, partly in the upper division of the hundred of CAYO, and partly in the upper division of that of CATHINOG, county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 4 miles (S. s. a.) from Lampeter; containing 400 inhabitants. This parish, which is situated near the river Cothy, and separated from the parish of City* by the small river Twrch, which flows near the church, comprises, in addition to an extensive tract of common, a large portion of amble and pasture land, *cloned and in a good state of cultivation. The surface is varied, and the surrounding scenery is agreeably diversified; the adjacent country is mountainous, and the views from the higher grounds embrace objects rather of striking boldness than of pleasing or picturesque beauty. The soil is favourable to the growth of corn and bay, of both which the lands yield abundant crops; the principal manure is lime, brought at considerable expense from a great distance. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed with £600 royal bounty, and £200 parliamentary grant; net income, f,610; patron and impropriator, John Johnes, Esq., whose tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of X90, subject to rates, averaging £4. 1. 10. per annum. The church, dedicated to St. David, is not distinguished by any architectural details of importance. There is a day school, in which about 90 children are instructed at the expense of their parents; and a Sunday school, consisting of 90 males and females, is supported by the iababitants: both are connected with Independents. The Roman road called Sam Helen, leading from Loventiwin to the station at Llanvair-ar-y- Bryn, according to Sir IL Colt Hoare, passed through the parish, to the left of the church, and is discoverable at twonear the small river Twrch. At the upper enti4oafettle common is a stone, about five yards high, fixed upright inlaS ground, with the inscription 66 T. Singer; " but whether originally placed there as a guide to shepherds traversing the common, or as a boundary, is not known; the latter is more probable, as it stands precisely on the spot where the parishes of Llanycrwys and Kellen, and the counties of Carmarthen and Cardigan, join.
