Description and Travel

"LLYSWORNEY, otherwise LLYS - WERNI (LIS - WORNEY), a parish in the hundred of COWBRIDGE, county of GLAMORGAN, SOUTH WALES, 3 miles (W.) from Cowbridge, containing 189 inhabitants. It is pleasantly situated in the fertile vale of Glamorgan, near the turnpike road leading from Cowbridge to Bridgend, and comprises but a small portion of land, which is enclosed and in a good state of cultivation : the surrounding scenery is pleasingly varied, and in the vicinity are some handsome residences. Little Nash, the seat of Mrs. Markham, and Stenbridge, are both extra-parochial : in the former was a private chapel for the accommodation of the family, but divine service has not been performed in it within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The living of Llysworney is a discharged vicarage, annexed to that of Lantwit-Major, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Llandaf, rated in the king's books at £4. 7. 3 1/2., and endowed with the great tithes of the parish. The church, dedicated to St. Tudvil, is not remarkable for any architectural details. There is a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists. A Sunday school for the gratuitous instruction of poor children is supported by subscription. The average annual expenditure for the maintenance of the poor is £77. 15."
