PENMYNNEDD (PEN-MYNYDD), a parish in the hundred of TYNDAETHWY, county of ANGLESEY, NORTH WALES, 6 miles (W.) from Beaumaris, containing 377 inhabitants. The name of this place, signifying literally "the summit of the mountain," is derived from the situation of its church on a lofty eminence. The lord-ship originally belonged to the ancestors of Owain ab Meredydd ab Tudyr, husband of Catherine of France, Queen dowager of HenryV., and grandfather of Henry VII., who was born here in 1385. The ancient mansion of that family, now converted into a farm-house, preserves many vestiges of its former owners, and some remains of its ancient grandeur; the great mantel-piece of the hall, some coats of arms of the family, with dates of different parts of the building, and of successive repairs, are still in existence. The last male descendant of this house, from which sprung the Tudor line of English sovereigns, was Richard, who was sheriff of the county in 1657, on whose death the lordship or manor passed to Margaret, the sole heiress, who conveyed it by marriage to Coningsby Williams, Esq., of Glan y Gore, in this county, who possessed it during his life : it was afterwards sold to Lord Bulkeley, whose representative still continues in the possession of it. The parish, which is situated on the old Holyhead road, comprises a very extensive tract of arable and pasture land, which, with the exception only of a very small portion, is enclosed and cultivated. The surface is undulating, and the soil, though various, is tolerably productive. There is a fair on Easter Monday, principally for hiring servants. This place constitutes a prebend in the cathedral church of Bangor, valued in the king's books at £ 8. 5. 7 1/2., and in the patronage of the Bishop. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Anglesey, and diocese of Bangor, endowed with £ 400 royal bounty, and in the patronage of the Prebendary. The church, dedicated to St. Credivael, a saint who flourished about the close of the fifth century, and first presided over the college of Ty Gwyn, is a very ancient structure, supposed to have been erected in the year 630: it contains a very superb altar-tomb of white alabaster, without arms or inscription, removed hither on the dissolution of the abbey of Llanvaes, and supposed to have been erected to the memory of some of the Tudor family ; it supports the effigies of two recumbent figures, one a warrior in complete armour, with a helmet of conical form, and the other a female in flowing robes and a square hood : the heads are supported by angels, and the feet rest upon lions. There are places of worship for Independents and Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists. Six almshouses, which had been previously founded in this parish, were endowed in 1623, by Lewis Owen, Esq., of Twickenham, in the county of Middlesex, with the tithes of the parish of Eglwys-Rhos, for the better support of the almspeople : these tithes have long been held by the family of Mostyn, who have paid an annual sum for the support of the almshouses, at present amounting to £ 60 per annum. There are also other charitable donations and bequests of land and money for the poor. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor amounts to £208. 13.
