"BODEDERN, a parish in the hundred of Lyfon, in the county of Anglesey, North Wales, 7 miles to the E. of Holyhead. The name of this place, which signifies "House of Edern," is derived from a bard who resided here in the 7th century. It is situated in a pleasant country on the old road to Holyhead. Many of the inhabitants are employed in the spinning of yarn, which is carried on in two mills. Petty sessions are held in the village monthly. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Bangor, of the value of £104, in the patronage of the Principal and Fellows of Jesus College, Oxford. The church, an ancient edifice of small dimensions, is dedicated to St. Edeyrn, and contains several interesting monuments to the families of Presaddved and Jones of Tre' Iorweth. There are chapels belonging to the Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists, Baptists, and Independents. A National school was founded in 1822. The parochial charities amount to £19 per annum. Presaddved and Tre' Iorweth are the principal seats. The latter is situated near the beautiful lake called Llyn Llwennyn."
