LLANLLIBIO (LLAN-LLIBIO), a parish in the hundred of LLYVON, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 1 1/2 mile (E.) from Bodedern, containing 88 inhabitants. This parish, which takes its name from the patron saint to whom its church was dedicated, is situated near the old line of road from London to Holyhead, and consists entirely of a few farms, the produce of which, owing to the poor argillaceous quality of the soil, is chiefly oats, with a very small portion of wheat and barley. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llantrisaint, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor. The church, which has been for many years desecrated, and suffered to fall into decay, has now entirely disappeared; and the churchyard has been ploughed up : the present rector has, notwithstanding, marked out the ancient boundaries of the churchyard, and has it in contemplation to rebuild the church. The inhabitants at present attend divine service in the church of Bodedern ; but all ecclesiastical rites are performed at Llantrisaint. The average annual expenditure for the maintenance of the poor is £38.12.
