"KÎLRHEDYN (CÎL-RHEDYN), a parish, in the union of NEWCASTLE-EMLYN, partly in the hundred of ELVET, county of CARMARTHEN, and partly in that of KILGERRAN, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 5 miles (S.W.) from Newcastle-Emlyn; containing 1108 inhabitants, of whom 857 are in Carmarthenshire, and 251 in the Pembrokeshire, portion. This place is situated on the Star road leading from Carmarthen to Cardigan . . . The parish, the greater part of which is in Carmarthenshire, is intersected by the small river Cych, which here forms the boundary line between the two counties; and comprises by computation between 6000 and 7000 acres, of which 1296 are arable, and the remainder consists of woodland and heath, including a considerable extent of turbary. The river Pedran winds through the lands, which are in some places low and flat, and in others hilly, ornamented occasionally with oak and other timber . . . The church, which is situated in the county of Pembroke, and dedicated to St. Teilo, contains 152 sittings, of which some are free. There are places of worship for Independents, Baptists, and Presbyterians; three day schools, in which 110 children are instructed at the expense of their parents; three Sunday schools, appertaining to the dissenters . . . and a Sunday school of fifty children . . . of the Independent denomination."

"Dr Leslie Baker-Jones has made a special study of the gentry of south-west Wales: their estates, mansion houses, religion, politics and social life. This edition of The Glaspant Diary 1896 provides a vivid account of life in and around one of the lesser gentry houses of north-west Carmarthenshire more than a century ago".
The diary is in the possesion of the NLW. There is a lot of genealogical information in this book as the Howells were connected to many other minor gentry families throughout Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire also over into Cardiganshire. Lots of ordinary local people and places are referred to in the text too.
