LLANVLEWYN (LLAN-FLEWYN), a parish in the hundred of TAL Y BOLION, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 6 miles (N. W.) from Llanerchymedd, containing 133 inhabitants. This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Flewyn, by whom it was originally founded, in the early part of the seventh century, is situated in the north-western part of the island, and is finely sheltered on the north by a chain of hills, by which it is separated from the parish of Llanvechell. It appears to have been visited, if not permanently inhabited, by the Romans, on their conquest of Anglesey ; three golden bracelets, of which two were purchased by Mr. Pennant, and a bulla of the same metal, having been found on a farm within its limits, called Ynys Gwyddel, a few years prior to his visiting this part of the principality ; and in this and also in the adjoining parish are numerous vestiges of Saxon and Danish occupation. The surface is boldly undulated, and the soil consequently various : the lands are for the greater part enclosed and in a good state of cultivation. The scenery is pleasingly diversified, and from the higher grounds are obtained some interesting views. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llanrhyddlad, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor. The church, a small plain edifice, is beautifully situated near a little lake, and surrounded with scenery of pleasing and rural appearance. There are places of worship for Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists. A small parochial school, in which the poor children of the parish are gratuitously instructed, is supported by subscription. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor amounts to £44. 19. (A Topographical Dictionary of Wales by Samuel Lewis, 1833)
