Kelly's Directory of South Wales (1895)

LLANGEITHO

Has been long celebrated as the head quarters of those religious fanatics, commonly called Methodists, and in the centre of this town they have erected a spacious meeting-house, which is fully attended and liberally supported. This parish comprehends a delightful tract of land; and the town is agreeably sheltered by hills on all sides, except where the eye is directed down the enchanting vale of Aeron. Of St. Ceitho, from whom it takes its name, nothing is now known; neither his kindred, nor even the time in which he lived, are noted.

Probably Castell Odwyn was in this parish, all those persons being lords of it who possessed Glyn aeron. An old intrenchment here might have been the place. Besides the owners of Glyn Aeron, I meet with Grufydd, and Moythe, as Lords of Castell Odwyn, at different times.

The church stands on a delightful rural spot, parted from the town by the river Aeron, and well-wooded. It appears to have been once a place of some consequence, from the ornaments within; but the Calvinistic disciples seem to have had influence enough to deprive it of the greatest portion of its congregation, and it has consequently of late years gone to decay. It is dedicated to Saint Ceiddo, and is a small rectory, in the gift of the freeholders of the parish.

The date on the pulpit is 1635.

There is a double screen to separate the chancel from the body of the church, which exhibits a curious specimen of laborious but elegant Gothic workmanship. Each part of the screen consists of three ornamented arches, in the spandrils of which birds and beasts are grotesquely introduced. (See Pl. VIII).

The four last incumbents were: 1731, the Rev. Daniel Rowlands; 1760, the Rev. John Rowlands; 1770, the Rev. Daniel Rowlands; 1790, the Rev. John Rowlands.

On the north side of the chancel is a flat mural slab, with the following inscription:

The Rev. Daniel Rowland, son of the above, was rector of Llangeitho, and a very distinguished minister of the gospel, as he was much followed as a popular preacher during more than half a century. He began to claim attention at twenty-five years of age, and continued rising in the public esteem until his death, which happened on the 10th of October, 1790, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. He was much noticed by the Countess of Huntingdon, who, it is said, kept a carriage purposely for him. He was reputed among the Calvinistic Methodists; but he taught particular tenets, and was the founder of a distinct sect, which still is pretty numerous in this part of the country, and denominated Rowlandists after his name. This conduct drew upon him the censure of the bishop, and he was suspended from his office. After this he built a very large meeting-house in the centre of the village, where he could, unmolested, vent his doctrines. His sister, however, maintained her church principles; and when his meeting-house was thronged with people, the only congregation in the church consisted of his successor there, the clerk, and his sister. He is buried in the churchyard, and a plain stone affixed against the outside of the church wall to his memory.

GLYN AERON,

Though now an insignificant farm-house, was formerly the residence of people of consequence in this county.

Jevan ab Gruffydd was the first of Glyn Aeron. His son Jevan Lloyd succeeded to it after his death, and bequeathed it to his son Rhydderch, the poet, who married Maud, daughter of Sir William Clement, Lord of Caron.

COURT MAWR

Is a reputable farm-house, and the property of Mr. John Daniels.
