"LLANWRTYD, a parish in the hundred of Builth, county Brecon, 10 miles S.W. of Builth, its post town, and 12 N.E. of Llandovery. This is a small watering-place, situated in rather a wild neighbourhood, on the river Irvon. The parish includes the hamlets of Clawdd Madog, and Llechweddor. Here is a spring containing sulphureous properties similar to those of Harrogate, called by the people Fynnon Ddrewllyd, or "the stinking well". Woollen goods are manufactured here. The living is a curacy annexed to the vicarage of Llangammarch, in the diocese of St. David's. The church is dedicated to St. David. ...
