LLANGEINWEN (LLAN-GEINWEN), a parish composed of an Upper and a Lower division, in the hundred of MENAI, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 3 miles (N. W. by W.) from Carnarvon, containing 776 inhabitants. This parish, which is of very considerable extent, derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Ceinwen, a female who was distinguished for the sanctity of her life, about the middle of the fifth century. It is pleasantly situated on the western shore of the Menai strait, which is here a mile and a half in breadth, and opposite to the town of Carnarvon, to which there is a ferry from this place, called Tal y Voel. The surface is varied, being in some parts composed of hills of considerable elevation, and the surrounding scenery is finely diversified. The higher grounds afford extensive and interesting views over the Menai strait, the bay of Carnarvon, and the adjacent country. The parish abounds with limestone of excellent quality, of which extensive quarries are worked at Guirt, Gelleniog-wen, Rhydgar, and Penrhyn bach, affording employment to a considerable number of men: the produce of these quarries is partly burnt into manure for the supply of the surrounding districts, and great quantities are exported by the Menai to different places on the coast. The living is a rectory, not in charge, with the perpetual curacy of Llangafo annexed, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor, and in the patronage of the Rev. Wynne Williams. The church, dedicated to St. Ceinwen, was originally built about the close of the sixth century, and, having fallen into decay, was rebuilt in the year 1812. The present church is a neat edifice, consisting of a nave and chancel, the latter of which is decorated with a handsome east window. There is a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists. The amount of several charitable bequests to the poor of this parish in money and land, of which last a certain portion was appropriated to the apprenticing of a poor boy, is annually distributed at Christmas, according to the wishes of the respective donors. At Guirt are the remains of a chapel, for many years used as a stable, and now converted into a dairy. Previously to its application to its present use, the figures of the apostles painted on the Walls were remaining, and over the east window are still preserved allegorical figures of Time and Death. Near the boundary of the parish is a rude upright stone, with the inscription FILIVS. VLRICI. EREXIT, HVNC. LAPIDEM., supposed to be a monument to the memory of some chieftain interred beneath it. In the quarries at Gelleniogwen great numbers of human bones are frequently found, which are supposed to be the remains of native inhabitants who at some period fell at this place in defending their country against the Danes. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £28O. 5. ( A Topographical Dictionary of Wales by Samuel Lewis, 1833 )
