"PENRIETH (PEN-RHYDD), a parish in the hundred of KÎLGERRAN, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 7 miles (S.S.E.) from Cardigan, containing, with the chapelry of Castellan, 346 inhabitants. This parish is situated in a mountainous district in the northeastern part of the county, and comprises a moderate portion of arable and pasture land, which, though light and poor, is enclosed and cultivated, and a considerable tract of unenclosed moor land, unsusceptible of profitable culture. The lofty mountain called Vrenni-Vawr, which, with only one exception, is the highest in the county, is comprehended within the limits of the parish. The surrounding scenery is bold and striking, but contains few features either of pleasing or picturesque beauty. The living is a discharged rec-tory, in the archdeaconry of Cardigan, and diocese of St. David's, rated in the king's books at £4, endowed with £400 royal bounty, and in the patronage of the Crown. The church, dedicated to St. Cristiolus, is not remarkable for any architectural peculiarities. Within the parish is a chapel called Castellan, now in ruins, on account of which the incumbent receives one guinea per annum from Sir R.B.P. Philipps, of Picton Castle, Bart. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor amounts to £9. 1." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1833).]
"CASTELLAN, a chapelry in the parish of PENRITH, hundred of KÎLGERRAN, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 6 miles (S. by E.) from Cardigan, containing 127 inhabitants. It forms an extensive portion of the parish, and is situated at the northern foot of the Vrenni-Vawr mountain, the second in height in the county. The chapel is in ruins, but the incumbent of the parish receives a small annual payment of one guinea from Sir R.B.P. Philipps, Bart., of Picton Castle." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1833).]
