BODEWRYD (BOD-EWRYD), a parish in the hundred of TWRCELYN, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 3 miles (W. S.W.) from Amlwch, containing 35 inhabitants. This small parish was formerly comprehended in that of Llaneilian, from which it was detached, and formed into a parish of itself, within the last thirty years. It consists only of two farm-houses, one of them anciently the mansion of the Wynne family, with their respective farms, and has no parochial officers, either ecclesiastical or civil : in levying the county rate it is, with the parish of Gwredog, considered as a fourth division to the three contained in the parish of Amlwch. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor, endowed, in 1722, with one hundred and twenty-one acres of land, and a rent-charge of £2, by Dr.Wynne, Chancellor of Hereford, and subsequently with £ 800 royal bounty, and in the patronage of Sir John Thomas Stanley, Bart. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a small ancient edifice, containing some monuments to the Wynnes, proprietors of the parish, and a brass recording the munificence of Dr. Wynne, above noticed, who lies entombed in the church. A parochial school has been founded, and is supported at the expense of Lady Stanley, for the education of female children of this and the adjoining parishes.(A Topographical Dictionary of Wales by Samuel Lewis, 1833)
