"MONINGTON, a parish in the hundred of KEMMES, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 3 miles (W.S.W.) from Cardigan, containing 102 inhabitants. This place was by the Welsh called Eglwys Wythwr, signifying literally "the church of eight men," there being at the time of its foundation precisely that number of freeholders in the parish. The parish comprises but a moderate area, which is all enclosed and in a good state of cultivation. The surrounding scenery is not distinguished by any peculiar features; but the views from the higher grounds embrace some objects of interest. The living is a vicarage not in charge, consolidated with that of St. Dogmael's, in the archdeaconry of Cardigan, and diocese of St. David's. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, is situated at the south-western declivity of a lofty eminence. The average annual expenditure for the maintenance of the poor is £67.18." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1833).]
