OYSTERMOUTH is a parish about 4 miles from Seansea, connected therewith by railway, and is much frequented during the summer months as a bathing place. There are many handsome residences in the locality. It is situated upon the peninsula known as the district of Gower, which extends in a westerly direction from Swansea about 18 miles, and is about 7 miles in breadth at its widest part, and is the head of a poor law union of its name. The oyster fishery at the Mumbles gives employment in the season to upwards of 600 men, and the appearance of the skiffs, about 100 in number, is often very picturesque; the take varies from 500 to 3,000 for each skiff in a day. To the north of the Mumbles church, on a little eminence, stands Oystermouth Castle, a considerable part of which now remains, and in better preservation than any of the castles in the Gower. It commands a fine view of the bay in Swansea and the surrounding country. It is the property of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, as lord of the seinory of Gower, and in the summer is resorted to by parties of pleasure from Swansea and neighbourhood, who dine upon a green within the walls; the gateway is perfect, and also a staircase leading to the terrace. The church of All Saints' is also a fine object from many situations. Near the church are the National schools, opened in 1867; there are also Board schools at the Mumbles, built in 1878 by Messrs. Richards and Billings of Swansea. The Mumbles contains places of worship belonging to the Wesleyans, Baptists and the Unitarians; that of the Wesleyans is a very pretty chapel, opened in 1877. There are three good hotels here. The lighthouse, built upon the outer rock, is an object of interest to visitors; at low water the lighthouse can be gained on foot. A battery has been built beneath the lighthouse; it was completed in 1860, at a cost of #10,000. It contains five mounted guns, two beneath and three on the outside of the battery. Population in 1861, 2, 460, and in 1871,3,574.

BISHOPSTON is a parish and village near the sea, about 6 miles from Swansea. The area of the parish is about 2,000 acres. A strange custom in connection with the manor of Bishopston, to be actually retained at the present time, is that of thecopyhold lands being held on borough English tenure, and descending not only to the youngest son or daughter, but also in the collateral line to the youngest brother, sister, uncle, or aunt, and all others. The chief landowners are the Duke of Beaufort (lord of the manor), Sir John Morris, Illtid Thomas, Esq., and H. H. Vivian, Esq. M.P. The places of worship are the parish church and a chapel for Independents. There is a National school for boys and girls. The living is a rectory, in the patronage of the Bishop of Llandaff.

J.P. of Kilvrough House. There are also chapels for Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists. The church, which is a large structure, with a side tower of considerable height, faced on the eastern side by a blocked Romanesque arch, displays evident marks of consequence; there are the appearances of two staircases on the right and left ofthe chancel, in which there are several ancient monuments. The former Rectorial, or Glebe House, is called by the name of "The College," either from the circumstances, it is supposed, of its belonging to All Souls' College, or from its being the site of the ancient residence of St. Cenydd, who established a congregation here. Roger de Bellomont (son of Henry de Bellomont, Earl of Warwick, who conquered Gowerland, and built the castle of Swansea) founded a priory here in the reign of King Stephen, and is said to have annexed it to the abbey of St. Taurinus, at Evereux, in Normandy. There was a cell in this priory on Holmes Island, the ruins of which still exist. The priory was dedicated to St. Kenedd, and being seized as an alien priory, was granted by Henry VI. A.D., 1441 to All Souls' College in Oxford, but that college, by an act passed in 1838, transferred their interest and patronage to Thomas Penrice, Esq. Rateable value, #2,073.

By some it is supposed to have been of Druidical erection, but the absence of the groves so often associated with the altars of their priests, have to other suggested the idea that it owes its originof position to some other period. The placing of this enormous stone upon its pillars, has been ascribed to the prodigious strength of the renowned hero from whom it takes its name, who was slain at the battle of Camlan, A.D. 540. In the neighbourhood there is a remarkable well, called "Holywell".
