Gazetteers

CERREGCEINWEN (CERYG - CEINWEN), a parish in the hundred of MALLTRAETH, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 3 miles (S. W. by W.) from Llangevni, on the road to Holyhead, containing 374 inhabitants. The land in this parish is almost wholly enclosed, and in a good state of cultivation ; and the soil, though in some parts a rocky moorland, is tolerably productive. Here is a mansion called Henblas, pleasantly situated in the centre of some flourishing plantations. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to that of Llangrystiolys, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor. The church, dedicated to St. Ceinwen, is a small but neat edifice, appropriately fitted up. The Rev. Dr. Lewis, a native of this parish, bequeathed £ 12 per annum for the education of two poor boys, natives of this parish, and also several sums of money, as exhibitions for a limited term, for such young men of this county as should go to either of the universities : he was a great benefactor to the poor of the parish, and a principal contributor to the fund for the support of widows of deceased clergymen. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £ 161. 9. ( A Topographical Dictionary of Wales by Samuel Lewis, 1833)
