"LANDYSSIL (LLAN-DYSSUL), a parish in the upper division of the hundred of NEWTOWN, county of MONTGOMERY, NORTH WALES, 2 miles (W. by S.) from Montgomery, containing 914 inhabitants. The village is pleasantly situated on the left of the road from Montgomery to Newtown, and the neighbourhood commands some interesting views and varied and extensive prospects. From the Goronddu hill the rich Vale of Severn is seen to great advantage, with the windings of the river, which forms the northern boundary of the parish. ... The church, dedicated to St. Tysul, is an ancient structure. ..." [A Topographical Dictionary of Wales by Samuel Lewis, 1833]
