TREVWALCHMAI, or TREWALCHMAI (TREV-WALCHMAI), a parish, partly in the hundred of LLYVON, and partly in that of MALLTRAETH, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 5 miles (W.) from Llangevni, containing 719 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the new line of the great road from London to Holyhead, and comprises a moderate extent of arable and pasture land, which is enclosed, and a small portion of common, affording good pasturage for sheep. The village, which, since the diversion of the Holyhead road in this direction, has considerably increased in size, and improved in appearance, is neatly built, and, though still small, has, with its church, which is situated on an eminence, a pleasing appearance. The living is annexed to the rectory of Heneglwys, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor. The church, dedicated to St. Mordeyrn, is a small ancient edifice, consisting of a nave, with a north aisle or chapel, extending nearly the whole length of the building, and has an east window of good design. William Bold, in 1688, the Rev. Hugh Hughes, and an unknown benefactor, severally bequeathed portions of land for the benefit of the poor of this parish. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor amounts to £165. 19.
