 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Tlic printed niateriul relating to Llanelly and its Chiircli is 
 altogether meagre and nn worthy of the subject. Faulty though 
 the present work may be, the Author has at least essayed to do 
 what others with better opportunities and (possibly) a larger fund 
 of matter, have left unattempted. Our little book has grown in 
 the literal sense of the word. At the outset, the Author was 
 merely desirous to acquaint the readers of the Honth Prens 
 
 with the general contents of the Llanelly Parish Eegisters. With 
 great kindness the Vicar, the Eev. Caxox Williams, placed in his 
 path such facilities as rendered the actual transcript of a large 
 portion of the records a not insurmountable task. The Author 
 then determined to xiroduee, along with notes of the registers of 
 baptisms and buiials, a comxdete list of the marriages from the 
 eaiiiest times to the period when the Church ceased to be the solo 
 medium for the xDerformance of the matrimonial rite, together with 
 occasional extracts from the later marriage records. These data 
 were duly published, and though the labour of transcription was 
 considerable, the task was lightened by the assurance that work 
 had been accomxdished not without its importance in the lU’esent, 
 and which might in time be of the highest value. The idea next 
 occurred to reproduce these registers in permanent form, along 
 with some notice of the monuments. Such a book, however, would 
 scarcely have been complete without reference to the Church and 
 its history, and it was then determined to expand the latter by the 
 acquisition of all possible material. In this agreeable undertaking 
 the Author has been aided by a host, of friends. The available 
 data were scattered— some at the Public Eecord Ollice, some at the 
 Eegistry of the Diocese, some in the registers themselves, some in 
 newspaper files, some in old topographies, some in the memories of 
 silver-haired citizens. From these and other sources has the 
 Author been enabled to collect a quantity of information relating 
 to the Church, which is now for the first time laid before the general 
 public. To Mr. Ernest G. Atkinson, of the Eecord Office, the best 
 thanks of the Author are sincerely tendered for generously unearth- 
 ing a mass of material from those vast and priceless mines, in which 
 he is so skilful a delvcr. The Author has also to gratefully ac- 
 Jrtiowlcdge the kiud euurtcsy of Mr. J. IL Eaukek, registrar of thy 
 
Jiocese of St. David’s, The Ten. Archdeacon James, Devs. Prei^en- 
 DARY Williams, D. D. Jones, Anthony Britten (late curate of St. 
 Elly’s.) ; Sir Arthur Cowell -Stepney, Bart., M.P. ; Messrs. Mansel

 AIeyler Daniel, W. H. Ludford, J. Griffiths (Burry Port) ; 
 Mrs. Helen AVatney and others who, in various, ways, have 
 helped in the work. The history whilst in proof has had the 
 benefit of careful perusal by Canon Williams and Mr. James 
 Harris (late Editor of the Red Dragon), to which latter gentleman 
 the Author is deeply indebted for most thorough and pains- 
 taking revision of the work. Such revision, however, was purely 
 literary, and had no bearing on the views and opinions expressed, 
 for wdiich the author alone is responsible. The registers, be it 
 noted, are so arranged as to permit of the insertion of ALS addi- 
 tions. Tlie illustrations, from pen -sketches by the author, though 
 rough, will, it is hoped, prove useful ; the plan is a tracing from 
 the ordnance map ; the photographs (by an adept in his art) speak 
 for themselves. Our work is accomplished. ATe have sketched as 
 best we could the history of the Parish Church ; glanced at its off- 
 slioots, ancient and modern ; reproduced the bulk of tlie monuments 
 and registers ; touched somewhat on the progress of the town. It 
 is matter for regret that whilst Churchmen lavish their affections on 
 the fine new temples of the parish, they should look with compara- 
 tive indifference on the grand old mother of them all. St. Elly’s, 
 by its age and historical interest, has powerful claims on the affee- 
 tion and reverence of every inhabitant of Llanell}". Alay this yet 
 be the case, and if our little book should prove the means of sug- 
 gesting research, or of stimulating interest, it will not have been 
 written in vain.

 THE CHIJECH BEEOEE THE :N'0EMAN CONQUEST. 
 
 writing the history of Llanelly Parish Churchy 
 frequent reference must of necessity be made ta 
 the rise and progress of the town of which it i& 
 the most venerable monument. The chronicles of 
 both are closely interwoven : w^e shall try and elucidate the 
 one by aid of the other, and shall outline the story of the 
 town at the same time that we expand the record of the 
 church. 
 
 Within the last forty years, the ecclesiastical parish of 
 Llanelly contained the five hamlets of Borough, Hengoed, 
 Westfa, Glyn and Berwick, which constitute the parish 
 as at present divided. It is parcelled now into four 
 distinct ecclesiastical districts and is subject to further re- 
 arrangement as the inhabitants increase. The area of the old 
 parish was 16,000 acres ; but how* or wLen the boundaries 
 were fixed w^e cannot ascertain. ‘‘In ancient times the 
 division of the country into parishes (as we understand the 
 term) did not exist in Wales in any strict sense until long 
 after the Norman adventurers had established themselves, 
 and had divided and subdivided their conquests. Indeed 
 it may be doubted whether the boundaries of parishes were 
 fixed with exactness throughout Wales — particularly in 
 the hilly parts of the country — much before the reign of 
 Henry WII.’’ f Each hamlet had its chapel-of-ease, to be 
 described in another portion of this book. 
 
 Llanelly Parish Church is situate in the borough at the 
 foot of a slight acclivity. In olden times when it stood alone 
 — no busy town with a forest of smoky stacks to interrupt 
 the gaze — the grand old tower must have been a commanding 
 
 * But why should it be doubted seeing* tha.t Wales never became 
 heathen after its conversion to Christ (before 318) whereas England 
 relapsed into heathenism after the coming of the Saxons and Danes. — ■ /

 ■uTjject. Yiewed from tlie liills around, from tlie plain, the- 
 estiiary or from distant Gower, the solitaiy pile rose from 
 the midst of wood and meadow land, eloquent though 
 silent, to tell its tale of days that are no more. ‘‘What a 
 tower is this I” exclaimed Wirt Sikes, writing of Neath 
 Church, in words which are suited to Llanelly — “ of course 
 it was built with less regard to beauty than to its probable 
 use as a military defence, a place of refuge for the people 
 in case of an assault from some marauding band of sea- 
 rovers. It is presumed that the door and windows have 
 been cut in the old walls lately; usually these military 
 church towers can only be entered through the church. 
 Along the entire coast of Wales certain striking charac- 
 teristics are observed in the churches. Here is a grouj) of 
 Welsh churches ; look at their towers, each more ponderous 
 than the next. It needs no argument to convince us they 
 were meant for strong-holds as well as campaniles. They 
 could almost defy the waves of ocean, like the cliffs. . . 
 
 The rough weather they are often doomed to encounter in 
 tlieir generally exposed situations is provided against by 
 an entire absence of external ornamentation, and a rugged 
 solid simplicity of construction. Many of them have been 
 restored in the present century — some rather too much re- 
 stored ; but others err in this regard by omission rather 
 than commission. The feelings of the antiquary are 
 offended by the introduction of incongruous pointed or 
 staring square-headed windows and such like base inser- 
 tions ; but even this is more enduiable than the neglect 
 which has been allowed to fall on many of these old 
 sea-coast temples.” 
 
 Eighteen hundred years ago Llanelly was a Homan 
 out-post, f The legionaries, penetrating ever westward, 
 arrived at length at Loughor. There they founded a set- 
 tlement I, and spanning the river with a bridge of wood, 
 pushed on to Llanelly. This was their terminus in South 
 Carmarthenshire. Elsewhere in the county they left traces^

 t Lewis in his Topographical Dictionary ” remarks that Llanelly 
 
 w'as probably an ancient British town of some importance, and the 
 remains of British fortifications may be distinctly traced in the imme- 
 diate neighbourhood.” Does he refer to the curious mound between 
 the Park and the Mynydd Mawr line ?

 of their presence in the shape of roads and other works, 
 and the still more enduring inoniiinents of etymology. 
 But at Llanelly a square green camp alone remained until 
 the present decade to tell of the place as known to the 
 Bomans. f 
 
 The foundation of Llanelly Church must have been laid 
 at a very earl}^ period. It has been suggested that churches 
 bearing the prefix Llan ” are tlie most ancient of these in- 
 stitutions in Wales J and mark the spot where the Britons, 
 forsaking Druidism for the religion of the Cross, transformed 
 the temples of the older faith into sanctuaries of the Cruci- 
 tied. II Whether this be the case or no, we have little hesita- 
 tion in according the Church at Llanelly an age of at any rate 
 a thousand years. This period, in the eyes of those accus- 
 tomed to think and speak of the place as a mere upgrowth of 
 to-day, may seem a gross exaggeration ; but we shall be 
 able to show tliat the estimate just given is at all events 
 reasonable, and may even be, if anything, below the 
 mark. 
 
 Before proceeding to investigate the meaning of the 
 word Llanelly, it may be curious to note some of the many 
 variations thereof. Tlie name has been very differently 
 spelt, and in some of the forms the Saxon struggle with 
 the Cymric ‘‘ LL’ is amusingly obvious. Besides Llanelly, 
 and its Welsh equivalent Llanelli, we have such versions 
 as Llanelly e, Lannelli, Llannelley, Llanelliw ,§ Llanelthi, 
 Llanelthy, Llannelthie, Lanelthy, Llanethli, Llanetly, Llan- 
 nethe, Llanneth}’, and many other disguises. 
 
 The name is generally accepted as a compound of Llaii 
 — ehiireh, and Elli a saint who figures in the 
 martyrology of ancient Britain. In the same way, Ffynoii 
 Eli — a sirring near Iville famed among old inhabitants 
 for its admirable water, is conjectured by some to be no 
 other than Elli’s Well. ‘‘ According to Jones’s 
 
 Lewis’ ‘‘Topographical Dictionary.”

 Llan anciently meant an enclosure for any purpose. The well- 
 known x^ractice of the early Christian missionaries in transforming 
 heathen temples, festivals, sacred wells, &c., to the purposes of the 
 new religion may helyj us to see how the meaning of the word Llan 
 became restricted. -Edmunds’ ” Names and Places.”

 ^ Brecknockshire,’ Ellyw or Elyw, whose name is not 
 mentioned in any of the lists, was a grand-daughter 
 of Brychan. With her may have originated the 
 establishment of Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, subject to 
 which are Llangennech and the extinct chapels of Dewi 
 (8t. David), Jfan (St. John), and Berwick or Dyddgen 
 Chapel. The Church of Llanelieu, Brecknockshire, is 
 called after her ; and she is also the patron of Llanelly, 
 subject to Llangattock Crickhowel in the same county, 
 where her wake is held on the Sunday next before the first 
 of August O.S., and renders it probable that her name is 
 only an abbreviation of Elined, upon whose festival the 
 Avake depends ” If Elli is, as Bees suggests, an 
 abbreAuation of Elined, she is identical Aviththe Almedha of 
 Giraldus Cambrensis, f of whom the church historian 
 Cressy remarks — This de\wit Aurgin, rejecting 
 the proposal of an earthly prince, Avho sought her in 
 marriage, and espousing herself to the Eternal King*, 
 consummated her life by a triumphant martyrdom.’^ 
 She suffered on a liill near Brecon. Elli is believed 
 to have been a contemporary of St. DaAud, to aaIioul 
 is dedicated a chapel-of-ease in Llanelly parisli, and 
 to whose mother is consecrated the neighbouring church of 
 Llaniion. St. Elli flourished about the sixth century, 
 and the church bearing her name Av^as founded, in all like- 
 lihood, either during her lifetime or soon after her martyr- 
 dom. X It may be objected that much of the above is 
 legendary ; but it is to be noted that, in the case of St. 
 David at all eA'ents, such high authorities as the present 
 Bishop of the Diocese and Prof. Freeman accept as accurate 
 the leading factors in the story of his life. || 
 
 We cannot bid farewell to these far-off days, wrapped as 
 they are in legend, without a reference to the religious 
 house Avhich is said to haA’e flourished once upon 
 Machynis. § This little promontory, now echoing to the 
 roar of tinworks and lit in the hours of darkness by the 
 glare of electricity, was as late as the close of last century an 
 island. It is so represented in Camden (1586), in the 
 
 Rees' “Welsh Saints.” 
 
 t This conjecture is g*iven in an old volume of “ Notes and Queries.” 
 
 Pryce in “Ancient British Church " alludes to “the old British 
 practice of naming- churches after their living- founders.”

 this kind in the district —ste under Glyn and Penallt.

 Stepney estate book (1761) and in other maps. Tlie 
 name is variously interpreted. One authority considei*s 
 Mach to be the name of a person. Another gives it as 
 a ridge, and would confer upon the name a distinction 
 which the appearance of the place fairly warrants, at all 
 events as viewed from the sea. Others read simply ‘ ‘ the 
 little island,” and Drayton perhaps had an inkling of this 
 when in his Polvolbion ” he sang her best beloved isle 
 Bachannis.” Others again see in Machynis a corruption 
 of Monach Ynj's — Monk’s island. They affirm that in the 
 fifth century a splendid monastery was founded at Mach- 
 ynis ; that the first abbot was St. Piero, who was followed 
 by Samson, a pupil of St. Illtyd. The establishment 
 fiourished until Henry YIII. broke up the religious houses 
 throughout the kingdom, but even then monks from Neath 
 Abbey continued to minister to and instruct the people. 
 
 It must be confessed that some uncertainty attaches to 
 the connection of this monastery with the Llanelly Machynis, 
 and the story is claimed to have ‘‘ rather a doubtful founda- 
 tion by its being distinctly stated in the life of St. Samson 
 that the island in which St. Pierio built a monastery was 
 not far from Llanilltyd Fawr or Lantwit Major in Glamor- 
 ganshire.” f 
 
 Turn we now to a narrative which with greater proba- 
 bility refers to Machynis, Carmarthenshire, and which 
 besides its own inherent interest, opens up the curious ques- 
 tion of the bounds of the sees of St. David’s and Llandaff : —

 the Towy. And excommunication having been pronounced, and 
 the Crosses with the holy relics and inverted bells being deposited 
 on the ground, he sought pardon and absolution by means of his 
 intercessor, King Itliael, on dismissing his step-mother with mahing 
 due satisfaction. And 2)ardon being granted to him on amendment

 -of life, with fasting, prayer and almsgiving, he gave the hind of 
 ^lachynis, being six inodii in quantity [about 54: acres] to God and 
 Peter the Apostle, and to St. Dnbriciiis, St. Teilo and St. Oudoceus 
 and Bishop Berthgwyn and all his successors in the Church of 
 Llandalf for ever, with all its libert}' and commonage in field and in 
 waters, in ^vood and in pastures, and upon the altar of St. Peter the 
 Apostle, and of St. Dubricius, St. Teilo and St. Oudoceus, he 
 swore that he would never withdraw this alms ; and excommunica- 
 tion was pronounced on whomsoever of his family, or of any other 
 stock, who should separate it from the Church of Llandalf. And 
 he took for his proper wife the daughter of Ellfin. Of the 
 clergy the witnesses are Bishop Berthgwyn, Cynfwr, Cynfarwy, 
 Tyrchan ; of the laity King Ithael, Gwrgan, Gafran, Elfiin, Elfarwy. 
 AVhOsoever will keep it, may God keep him, but whosoever will 
 separate it from the Church of Llandaff, may he be accursed. 
 Amen.” * 
 
 Llanelly — with, the rest of Carmarthenshire, now in the 
 diocese of St. David’s — was once a part and parcel of 
 Llandah ; hut the narrative of the transfer is rather long 
 and does not hear very closely upon our church ; we therefore 
 leave it and pass on, referring the reader to such authori- 
 ties as deal fully and minutely with the whole question. 
 
 CHAPTEE II. 
 
 THE CONQUEST TO THE HEFOllMATION. 
 
 first actual reference to the church at Llanelly 
 ‘Curs in the “Liber Landavensis,” and carries 
 5 back to the Norman Conquest. The extract 
 as follows : — 
 
 “ When King William conquered England, Bishop Herwald held 
 the Bishoprick of the Church of Llandaff from the mouth of the 
 Wje to the river Towy, with all episcopal dignity and subjection. 
 In which time Cadwgan, son of King Meurig, reigned in Glamorgan 
 as far as the ford of the Trunk on Towy, and King Caradoc reigned 
 in Ystradyw, Gwent L^chcoed, and Gwynllwg, and Phydderch in 
 Ewyas and Gwent Iscoed. Which before named kings were sub- 
 ject to King AVilliam, and died in his time ; Avhose aforesaid terri-

 Lanneadaiie, Sulmyd, a priest, officiated, and after him Elnd. In 
 Pembre, Cadfor, son of Mor, and after him Gwrhai, son of Silli, a 
 doctor of Llanilltyd, and after him Sedd. In Lannelli, Umel was 
 jmiest, afterwards Uchdiyd, afterwards lonas, afterwards Gwas- 
 dwyn, afteiuvards Aeddmi. In Lanncinith, Bywgi, son of Edwyn, 
 afterAvards Cyfelyn, afterwards lago Goch, afterAA^ards Albrit ; in 
 which church Bishop Herwald ordained Caradoc, a holy and reli- 
 gious man, to be a monk. In Lanngeuelach, Agger, a priest, and 
 after him Clydno. In Lann Ethrim, GAAydir, a priest. In Lann- 
 diuailuc, Afassei. AVhich aforesaid churches Bishop Heiwald con- 
 secrated, and he also ordained the aforesaid Clergy. 
 
 And in the district of Guhir, and Cetgueli, and Cantref Bichan, 
 King Cadwgan reigned many years until his death. Wherefore ho 
 received hostages of Cudifor Torrawg, Asser son of Phydderch, 
 Garwy, 8elyf son of HyAvel, CollAvyn son of Llywarch the son of 
 Athrem, HyAvel son of Trystan, Gulbrit son of ]Marchan, Mor son 
 of Ceredig. 
 
 In YstradyAv, Herwald consecrated the church of St. ^Bchael, and 
 the church of Lann Cetguinn, and Lann Petyr, and Merthyr Issui, 
 and committed the care of those churches to Madweith, and to Isaac 
 after him, and to Beatus the priest, whom he (the Bishoi^) had or- 
 dained priests ; and which he held in all episcopal subjection in the 
 time of King William, and Earl William, and Walter de Lacy.” 
 
 It is impossible to form an idea of Avliat tliis ancient clinrcli 
 at Llanelly was like ; what manner of men were its clergy', 
 Umel, Uchdryd, lonas, Gwasdwym, and Aeddan ; or who 
 and what were the people to whom they' ministered. The 
 beams which illumine those troublous times are faint and 
 uncertain, and we must pass on with the reflection that the 
 position and j)rogress of the Church at Llanelly' were in all 
 probability^ much the same as those of other churches 
 within the sees of St David’s and Llandaff. 
 
 From the time of the Conquest till the sixteenth century 
 the references to LlanelU Church are sparse, and AA'hat 
 they^ tell us has more to do with the value of the benefice 
 than with the sx)iritual condition of the people, f 
 
 Among the Inquisition es Post Mortem of the llthy'ear 
 of Edward the First [1282-3], is one (No. 35) concerning 
 the possessions of Patrick de Cadurciis. These were very 
 extensive. The said Patrick owned, among the advowsons

 ney, Llangadock, Pembrej^ Llangenydd (Gower), &c. 
 
 t All the extracts Avhich follow, relating to documents in the Public 
 Kecord Office, have been supplied by Mr. Ernest G. Atkinson, of 
 aaKoso courtesy and invaluable aid the writer has made acknowledg- 
 ment elsewhere. Without the assistance thus so generously afforded,, 
 our account of the Church from the eleventh to the sixteenth century 
 would be a complete blank. He has also amplified its later history.

 of several other clmrclies, those of ‘‘Lannethy/’ “ Lande- 
 vayloc ” and “ Penbray.” The value of the first of theso 
 churches is put down at 80 marks per annum ; of the second 
 at 100 marks ; and of the third at 40 marks. The advowsons 
 of these three passed to the King. 
 
 Our next reference to Llanelly bears date circa 1291, 
 and is found in the “ Taxatio Ecclesiastiea Anglim et Wallim 
 Auctpritate P. Nicholai IV.’’ Under St. David’s Diocese 
 and the Deanery (Decanatus) of Kedwely, the “ Ecclesia de 
 Llanetly” is valued at £10. Penbrey is £6 13s. 4d. ; 
 Kedwely £13 6s. 8d. Of course the modern equivalent of 
 these sums would be a much larger figure. It is to be 
 noted that Llanelly is situate today within the rural 
 deanery of Kidwelly, and that its Vicar, Pev. Canon 
 Williams, is the Pural Dean. 
 
 It is asserted, on how accurate authority we know not, 
 that Llanelly as a borough dates from the reign of Edward 
 II. If a charter were conferred upon the place (the town 
 Avas formerly governed by a portreeve and burgesses), it 
 Avas probably the gift of the lord of the manor, and not 
 of the King. The whole matter merits more thorough in- 
 vestigation than it has hitherto receh^ ed. f 
 
 ^ In the Cambrian, May 27, 1831, we read: — “ At the Earl of Caw- 
 dor’s Courts leet and Baron for the borough of Llanelly, as of the 
 honour, barony, lordship or manor of Kidwelly, in the county of Car- 
 marthen, hoiden on Friday last before the Earl’s agent, William 
 Chambers, Esq., of Llanelly House, was admitted a freeman of that 
 ancient and flourishing place, and after having taken the oath of quali- 
 fication and allegiance as burgess that gentleman was appointed 
 portreeve for the borough and its extensive precincts during the 
 ensuing year.” 
 
 t The “Penny Encyclopedia” says “Llanelly is mentioned as a 
 borough town in the reign of Edward II.” “ Silurian ” (in the WeeMy 
 Mail), who has kindly made search for me relative to the supposed 
 charter, writes : — “ As far as my acquaintance with this matter stands 
 I believe there is no town in Wales that has a charter making it a free 
 town earlier than ii. Henry III. In that year the town of Montgomery 
 had a charter granting certain privileges. In the fourteenth year of 
 the same king the town of Cardigan had a charter of a similar nature. 
 In the sixth year of Edward I., Rhuddlan, Builth, and “ Lampadar ” 
 — I have examined the original charter on the Boll, which induces me 
 to think that probably Aberystwith, and not Lampeter, is meant by 
 this word “ Lampadar ”— had similar grants. The general rule in those 
 early days was to grant charters for fairs, markets, courts leet, and 
 courts for inquiry into crime, debts, &c., to the lord of the adjacent 
 territory. He usually, or occasionally, granted some municipal 
 privileges to the towns in his territory. These mesne charters have, 
 in many instances (I mention two within my own knowledge — Welsh- 
 pool aiid Llanfyllin, in the county of Montgomery), been confirmed by 
 subsequent Eu’glish kings. There is an index of all confirmations of

 From early times Llanelly formed part of the extensive 
 domains of the Duchy of Lancaster. In the Public Pecord 
 Office are the Ministers’ Accounts of the Duchy (Kidwelly 
 lordship), extending from Kichard II. to Charles II., in all 
 about 400 years. Llanelthe ” appears in these ancient 
 accounts, and Mr Atkinson informs us that they are of 
 much interest as regards the borough, giving details as to 
 the rents of land, pi’olits of mdls, perquisites of courts and 
 other matters of great interest to a compiler of a history of 
 the place. 
 
 The references to Llanelly Church contained in the 
 accounts are scanty ; but we know that its tithes were ap- 
 propriated by John of Gaunt (“time-honored Lancaster ”) 
 to the Collegiate Church of St. Mary’s, Leicester. Mr. 
 Atkinson remarks : — “In the Ministers’ xiccounts for the 
 Ducliy, I note, amongst a very large number of others, one 
 by William Gillott, clerk, Provost and Peceiver-General 
 for all the possessions of the College of New Work, 
 Leicester. From it we learn that there was due for arrears 
 from the executors of the will of Henry Morgan, deceased, 
 late farmer of the rectories of ‘ Llanneth,’ ‘ Llanoidvallok,' 
 and ‘ Llankyndern, ’ in Wales, the sum of £14 11s. 6d. 
 It is stated that £4 Is. lOd. had been allowed Morgan for 
 repairs done by him. I daresay, adds Mr Atkinson, that 
 a regular list of the farmers of the rectory of LLnelly 
 could be obtained from the long series of Ministers* 
 Accounts. The vicarage or rectory was comparatively a 
 valuable one.” 
 
 Among the Inquisitiones post Mortem of the 3oth year of 
 Edward the Third is one (No. 122) on the possessions of 
 Henry, Duke of Lancaster. These include the advowson 
 of the Church of “ Lanelthy,” which is valued at £100 per 
 annum. 
 
 In the “ Yalor Ecclesiasticus ” of Henry YIII. (looo) 
 under the Deanery of Kydwally, the clear yearly value of 
 Llanelly Church is put down at £6 6s. 8d., less 12s. 8d. for 
 tenths. The then vicar was Lewis David, and the church. 
 
 mesne, or chief charters, at the Record Office. Llanelly does not ap- 
 pear among them. It will be observed from the above that Llanelljr 
 might have had from the lord of the district a charter which the peo- 
 ple in after centuries did not value, and consequently took no steps to^ 
 g-et confirmed. A town was better off without a charter than with one^ 
 granted to the lord, for the latter meant tolls of markets, court fees, 
 <fec., for him. at the expense of the people.”

 In 1 540, Leland, the celebrated antiquar}^, wrote : ^ ^ At 
 Llanethli, a village of Kidwelli Lordshij), six miles from 
 Ividwelli, the inhabitants dig coles, els scant in Kidwelli 
 land — there be ii maner of these coles ; ring coles for smith 
 be blowed and watered ; stone coles be sometime watered, 
 hut never blowed, for blowing extinguisheth them — So 
 that Vendraeth Vawr coles be stone coles, Llanethli coles 
 ring coles.” 
 
 Thus we obtain the first glimpse of the small village of 
 Kidwelli Lordship, the ‘‘coles ” of which were destined to 
 create it into a large and leading centre. Ten years later 
 we obtain our earliest view of the internal appointment of 
 Llanelly Church, and brief though the x)articulars be, they 
 are most accex)table when the available materials are so 
 few and far between. In 1552 Commissioners were ap- 
 pointed by Edward VI. to take and make “ a just vie we, 
 survey, and inventorie of all maner of Goods, Plate, Jewells, 
 Vestyments, Bells, and other ornaments, within euery 
 jDarisshe,” &c. The following are extracts from the Com- 
 missioners’ rex)ort in regard to Llanelly and the neigh-

 Curious to know wlietber a similar survey to the above- 
 was made by Henry VIII. prior to tlie general overthrow 
 of religious institutions throughout the kingdom, we 
 applied to Mr Atkinson who very kindly responded as fol- 
 lows : — It is imj)ossible for any one to give an absolute 
 negative to the question, whether there was a general 
 inventory of Church Goods under Eoyal Commission during 
 the reign of Henry YIII. I have asked the greatest living 
 authority on the history of that period, and he is decidedly 
 of opinion that there was no such Commission. The returns 
 from suppressed monasteries and other religious houses 
 would, of course, include a list of Church goods, and such 
 portions of the returns may in many cases have been de- 
 tached, intentionally or otherwise, and coming to the hands 
 of Edward the Sixth’s Commissioners, have been added to 
 their returns. In a list of Land Bevenue Eecords preserved 
 in this office, relating to Church Goods, &c., and wherein 
 most of the inventories belong to the reign of Edward VI., 
 I have come across several dating from Henry VIII’s time, 
 and the above reason may account for their presence. I 
 can find no record among them, or in the two later reigns, 
 connected with Llanelly.” The oldest communion cup 
 amongst the vessels of the church dates back to the days 
 of Queen Elizabeth : it is in excellent preservation — is still 
 in use, we believe — and bears the following inscription : — 
 
 ^^FOCULUJI ECLESIE BE LLAXELLY, 1571.” 
 
 On the base are scratched the figures 1848, presumably the 
 date when the cup last underwent repair. Here, as to the 
 ancient cup of Llangynwyd, may be applied a ehronicler’s^ 
 remark : — “ This interesting relic must have been one of 
 the very first that the Laity at communion services were 
 allowed to drink from, and it remains a venerable witness 
 of a victory won over priestly intolerance and assumption, 
 and should be to us a reminder of the many conflicts, 
 fought, and the blood spilt before that victory was gained.” f

CHAPTEE III. 
 
 THE CIIUECH LENDER ELIZABETH. 
 
 following data throw further curious light on 
 )cal Church affairs under the Tudors : — 
 
 111 the Pleadings of the Duchy of Lancaster, preserved 
 the Public Pecord Office^ London, we learn (vol. xxiii, 
 i 32) that Win. Fleetwood, Sergeant -at -law within her Highness’ said 
 Duchy, did, in the 7th year of Queen Elizabeth, file an information 
 before Sir Ambrose Cave, Knight, Chancellor of the Duchy, that one 
 Harry Morgan, gent., “ of his owne wronge and aucthoritie,” had 
 of late entered and intruded into the parsonages or rectories of 
 Llannethe, Llandevailog and Penbraye, and had taken, and did 
 still receive, all profits, tenths, obventions, and emoluments thereof , 
 “to his owne privat use and commoditie, ” the Queen’s Majesty 
 being lawfully seised in her demesne as of fee of the said parsonages, 
 with all glebe lands, tenths, fruits, oblations, obventions, and em- 
 oluments belonging thereunto, in the county of Carmarthen, in 
 Wales, parcel of Her Majesty’s possession of the said Duchy. 
 Henry Morgan, the defendant, in his answer to the information, 
 says that Edward VI., who was lawfully seised of the said parson- 
 iiges, did, by his Highness’ sufficient deed, indented under the seal 
 of the Duchy, and bearing date 19 May, 4 Edw. VI., by the ad\dce 
 and assent of the Council of the Duchy, demise, grant, and to farm 
 let, unto one William Morgan, the defendant’s father, the said 
 parsonages, with all and singular their appurtenances (the advow- 
 son and presentation of the vicarages of the churches thereof alone 
 oxcepted and reserved to the King and his heirs) to have and to 
 hold the said rectories and i)arsonages unto the said Win. Morgan, 
 his executors and assigns, from the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula 
 then next following until the full end of 45 years, paying yearly 
 therefore unto the King and his heirs £104. The said Win. Morgan 
 accordingly entered upon, and was lawfully possessed of, the 
 aforesaid parsonages, Ac., and after his death, according to his 
 will, the defendant became lawfully possessed of the same. Ser- 
 jeant Fleetwood, in his lleplication to the answer of Henry Mor- 
 gan, says that if there were any such lease as thot referred to by 
 the defendant, it was by the laws and statutes of the land utterly 
 v'oid and of none eifect, because the said j)arsonages, Ac., were 
 parcel of the late Collegiate Church of Newark, in Leicestershire, 
 dissolved and given by Parliament to Edward VI. and his heirs, 
 und thereby annexed, united and api^ointed to be, within the survey 
 and order of the Duchy Court, and Serjeant Fleetwood says he wiil 
 aver and prove that, at the date of the alleged lease, the Chancellor 
 of the Duchy had no warrant, nor the assent of the Council of the 
 f<ame Court, to use the seal of the Court to the said lease, and 
 therefore the said lease was void. 
 
 Again, the Pleadings of the Duchy (vol. liii, p. 2) inform us that, 
 in the 16th year of Queen Elizabeth, Sir John Perrot, Knight, filed 
 
XVll. 
 
 ji bill of complaint before Sir Italpli Sadler, the Chancellor at that 
 time of the Duchy, stating that the (^ueen, by deed indented witii 
 ■the Ducliy seal, bearing date at AVestminster 20 Jan., 16 Eliza- 
 beth, and by tlie adduce of the Council of its Court, did demise, 
 grant and to farm let unto him, the parsonages of the aforesaid 
 churches, with their appurtenances, to have and to hold from the 
 day ot the date of the said indenture until the full end of thirty 
 years, paying therefore yearly to the Queen and her heirs £101. 
 Eurther, that AValter Yaughan, Hcnghe Lloyde, Davie Lloyde ap 
 Roberte, Clryffith AVyllms, AVyllm Darrye, Edwarde Poulec, AYillni 
 Morgan ap Rd Lloyde, gentlemen, and one Owen Hostyans, have 
 entered into the said parsonages, kc., and have taken, and do still 
 xeceive, the profits thereof. Sir John Perrot accordingly prays for 
 ii writ of Privy Seal, compelling the appearance of the defendants, 
 at a certain date, before the Duchy Court. 
 
 David Lloyd ap Robert, one of the defendants, makes an answer, 
 but it does not concern Llanelly Church. 
 
 AVilliam Parry, Esq., another of tlie defendants, in his answer 
 f^ays, that before the lease mentioned by Sir John Perrot, the 
 Queen, by indenture of lease, sealed with the Duchy seal, demised 
 and granted the said i)arsonages, kc., to one Robert Christmas, 
 gent., to have and to hold to him, his executors and assigns, from 
 the feast of St. Alichael the iVrchangel then last past for the term 
 of 21 years ; that Robert Christimis demised all his interest in the 
 said i)remises and their apx)urtenances to one Henry Alorgan, gent. ; 
 that Henry IMorgan granted to tlie said defendant and Katherine 
 Heywoode, widow (now the said defendant’s wife) all his interest in 
 the 4th part of the said iiarsonages, kc., then in the tenure of AVil- 
 liam Lloyd, ffluhs Ayilliam Thomas Lloyd, gent., to hiiveandto hold 
 to them, their executors and assigns, during such term of years as 
 Henry Morgan had in the same ; that the said. Katherine released 
 iill her interest to the said defendant, whereby he became solely 
 possessed thereof, and had taken th« issues and profits of the same ; 
 without that, that the Queen, by her deed indented, sealed with the 
 Duchy seal, bearing date at AVestminster 20 Jan., 16 Elizabeth, 
 iind by the advice of the Council of its Court, did or could demise 
 to the siiid complainant the said i:)arsonages, kc., to have and to 
 hold as the complainant saith, to this defendant’s knovdedge, or 
 that this defendant hath of his own wrong entered into the said 
 parsonages, as alleged. 
 
 Sir John Perrot, in his Replication, admits the lease to Robert 
 Christmas, but states that the latter had failed to pay part of the 
 rent fixed, and therefore by a proviso in the lease the same was 
 Toid. Further, that the (fueen had granted the said parsonages, 
 kc., to him, as stated in his Bill of Complaint, and that he had 
 <*ontinued to pay the rent, and therefore should not be kept from 
 the possession of the said premises.^' 
 
 * Observe that these disputes refer entirely to the possession of 
 rectorial or other property which had belonged to monasteries and 
 been confiscated to the Crown . — Canon Williams.

 At this period the moral condition of the people was low : 
 that of their teachers little if any better. The terrible- 
 picture drawn by Vicar Prichard is doubtless true of the 
 Principality at large. No one reading his “ Welshman^ 
 Candle ’’ can fail to be impressed with the gross and 
 corrupt condition of the times. It was the age of moral 
 and spiritual darkness, from which the church w^as not to 
 awaken till yet other centuries had rolled above her head. 
 
 Two grants, occurring in the Patent Polls of Queen 
 Elizabeth, next claim our attention. Of the first of these- 
 w'e give a full rendering from the Latin of the original 
 document : — 
 
 ‘‘ Grant to Sir John Perrott, Knight, and his Heirs. — This In- 
 denture made between the Most Excellent Princess and Lady, the Lady

 CKUKCII AND PAllISII (1586 1761 ). 
 
 M tlie Bishops’ Certificates (First Fruits), St« 
 )avid’s Diocese, we learn that on November 23 , 
 586 , John Lloyd was instituted to the Vicarage 
 f Llanelly ; followed November 8 , 1608 , by 
 Eichard LIojtI. From this date until 1663 we have no 
 record of another institution ; but it is to be noted that 
 from 1640 to 1660 — a gloomy epoch for the church — the 
 Bishops’ certificates are wanting. 
 
 In a Survey of the honor or lordship of ‘‘ Kyd welly,” made by 
 Gerrard Bromley, Esq., survej^or of the possessions of the Duchy of 
 Lancaster, in the seventh year of James I. (1609), there is a pre- 
 sentment of a jury for the borough of Llanelly to certain articles 
 given them in charge by the said Bromley, and to the 18th, “ they 
 saye that Henry Earle of Xofthumberland is parsonne f of Llanellye, 
 together with the Chappies thereuntoo annexed, tind that one Siv 
 K. Lloyd is viccar of the same. 
 
 Now that we have arrived at the seventeenth century, 
 let us turn aside a moment from the Church, and glance at 
 the position of affairs around it. The working of coles,” 
 after the primitive fashion of the time, is more extensive 
 and vigorous than ever. Small vessels thread their passage 
 up the estuary, the buddings of the future carrying-trade. 
 Early in the century we see the building of Llanelly House, 
 the residence of the Vaughans, an offshoot from Golden 
 Grove, whose epitaphs we give elsewhere. Later on, by 
 marriage, the mansion and estate pass into the hands of 
 Sir Thomas Stepney, fifth baronet and grandson of 
 Vandyck, and thus commences the connection, scarcely yet 
 severed, between our town and an old and honourable 
 house. X bye the Civil War breaks out, and its 
 
 mutterings are heard even at Llanelly. Tenby is besieged 
 by the Parliamentary forces, and at length succumbs. 
 Amongst the attempts at relief was one which has for us 
 peculiar interest. ‘‘Some ammunition,” w'rites John.

 came from Bristol, and ventured to relieve tlie town, Avas 
 chased by a frigate of Swanley’s and hardly escaped, 
 putting into a creek at Lianelly, and is safe.” In the year 
 1648 an engagement in which the Boj^alists suffered defeat, 
 took place in this neighbourhood. Of such a fight there 
 must surely be some relics remaining in the shape of bones 
 or bullets ; and it Avould be interesting to learn if such 
 have been discovered. At present we have no information. 
 In 1653 Llanelly was visited by a scourge more dreaded 
 than Royalist or Roundhead troops — the Plague. Whilst 
 the visitation lasted, the country people brought food- 
 supplies for the devoted townsfolk, but set sentinels so that 
 the latter might not approach too near and communicate 
 the malady. The place where the sentinels were stationed 
 bore afterwards the expressive name Cae Watch. Speak- 
 ing of the sale of commodities reminds us that tAVO centuries- 
 ago the local market was held on Tuesday : it is now held 
 later in the week. When did the change take place ? In 
 1684 the Parish Registers commenced, and though kept in 
 a scrappy and perfunctory manner they throw much light 
 on local history. 
 
 We now return to the Parish Church. In the ^^ear 1663 
 Thomas Rice was instituted to the vicarage of Llanelly, | 
 folio Aved in 1690 (Dec. 23) by Roger Prosser, on the pre- 
 >sentation of King AVilliam and Queen Mary, rationo 
 Ducatus Lancastriu).” J Prosser died in 1696 according to 
 the parish register, and Av^as buried in the churchyard. 
 Maria, his wife, died 1697. ^^Gualterus Prosser” (died 
 1693) was also probably a relative. 
 
 It is not improbable that the church was restored in 
 1683, as a pillar bearing this date was standing before the 
 last alteration — forty-three years ago. || It is curious to 
 note that the oldest monuments and registers carry us 
 back no earlier than the year in question. The tower and 
 chancel (the most ancient existing portions of the edifice) 
 belong to the middle ages : the Piscina (according to the 
 
 ^ Mr. Dillwyn, in his “ History of Swansea,” says: “Nor have E 
 met with an account of any battle nearer than Llanelly, where the 
 Oliverian Colonel Fleming- defeated Colonel Powell, when he was ad- 
 vancing from Pembroke to support General Laugharne, shortly before 
 his overthrow at St. Fagan’s.” Mainwaring, in his pamphlet, 
 “ Glimpses of Welsh Politics,” gives some curious particulars con- 
 necting Llanelly and neigh!) uirhood with the Civil War.

 In 1G97 (August 27) Lewis Nicholas wavS instituted to 
 the vicarage of Llanelly, on the presentation of the Duke 
 and Duchess of Somerset. There is no record of his 
 burial in the register. Possibly he removed elsewhere, 
 but it must be recollected that the earlier entries are in- 
 complete, and those from 1723 to 1735 are missing. Four 
 entries (1703-8), relating to Jocda, wife, and Johannes, 
 Gulielmus and Eclwardus, sons of L. Nicholas, are presum- 
 ably the household of the Vicar. 
 
 Feb. 7, 1710, Benjamin Lloyd was instituted vicar of 
 Llanelly and Llangeiieth, on the presentation of Duke 
 (Charles) and Duchess (Elizabeth) of Somerset, f Lloyd’s 
 name is absent from the register. His wife survived him 
 some years, for whilst the vicar died in or about 1734, in 
 1748 the Burial register contains this entry: — ‘‘Anne 
 Lloyd, Mr. Benjamin Lloyd Vic’s widow,” aged GO years. 
 
 Mar. 28, 1734, Pichard Davies was instituted to Llanelly 
 and Llangeiinech, on the presentation of Charles, Duke of 
 Somerset ; f but all we know of him is that he died in 1741, 
 and was buried in the churchyard. 
 
 Davies was succeeded by the Pev. James Pinaud, insti- 
 tuted July 28, 1741, on the presenfcation of “the most 
 noble Prince Charles Duke of Somerset.” f Mr. Pinaud, 
 though nothing is known of his personal history, has strong 
 claims to the chronicler’s regard. Up to the time of his 
 <advent, the parish registers were slovenly and incomplete. 
 Mr. Pinaud kept them as a man who loved the work. It 
 is a pleasure to read his clear bold wuuting, and to note the 
 care Avith which he entered and certified the records. 
 V arious comments, from time to time, throw light upon the 
 condition of the church and village, and reading between 
 the lines Ave can form a lively picture of the parish at that 
 period. 
 
 We see the Church Avith its two towers, and the church- 
 3 ^ard, the StepneA^ mansion, and the village round 
 about. We see the school with 40 or 50 scholars ; J we 
 see the “ Avorks ” where “Mr. Townsend” and others are

 During the pastorate of Mr Pinaud, two representatives 
 of the house of Stepney died, and were buried in the 
 Church. Sir Thomas Stepney — fifth Baronet— who died in 
 1745, was a man of high character and blameless life. His 
 epitaph describes him as ^‘less distinguished hy his illus- 
 trious descent from Henry YII. of England than by his 
 many excellent virtues, ” and independent evidence exists 
 that this panegyric is much more accurate than things of 
 the kind usually are. Sir John Stepney — sixth Baronet — 
 survived his father only -three years. He died in 1747 and 
 was buried in the parish church. Sir John, a retiring un- 
 ostentatious character, was succeeded b,y Sir Thomas 
 Stepney, a man of very different mould. Of the latter’s 
 efforts to advance and improve Llanelly we shall speak at 
 greater length when describing the place in the lifetime 
 of the Pev. Theophilus Davies. 
 
 The names of various other persons of lesser note and 
 interest occur io the registers during the pastorate of Mr. 
 Pinaud, and will be found in their proper place. During 
 his time the famous change in the calendar took place, 
 from Old to New Style, and shortly afterwards the law 
 stepped in to more perfectly regulate the registration of 
 marriages; so that from 1754 to the present date — 133 years 
 — we have a record, absolutely unbroken, of marriages 
 solemnised within the parish church. 
 
 Mr. Pinaud appears to have been assisted by more than 
 one curate, and it must be recollected that about this time 
 Llangennech was considered as annexed to Llanelly parish, 
 the whole formiug a very large and scattered district. 
 There is some information upon the point at the Diocesan 
 liegistry, Carmarthen, which may as well be given ere we

 proceed. We have already mentioned the institution of Ben- 
 j amin Lloyd and Lichard Davies to Llanelly and Llangen- 
 2 ?ech. Aug*. 17, 1730, John Evans is entered as licensed 
 to the curacy of Llangennech annexed to the parish church 
 of Llanelly. By a strict enquiry made in 1741 it appeared 
 that in 1710 Llangennech was by mistake presented as an- 
 nexed to Llanelly, and in 1714 was so returned by the then 
 bishop ; whereas Llangennech was really a distinct parish 
 of itself, and though both parishes had for convenience sake 
 been served by the same parson, de jure they were distinct 
 benefices and the Duke of Somerset might if he pleased name 
 a vicar for Llangennech distinct from Llanelly. In 1741 Mr. 
 Pinaud was nominated by his grace to Llangennech as to 
 a distinct curacy. In 1743 (Aug. 29) Samuel Morris was 
 licensed to both curacies at £10 per annum, and at a still 
 later period the distinction between the parishes appears 
 to have been but little understood. In 1721 Llangennech 
 Ticarage was returned as of £6 13s. 4d. certified value, 
 and in 1763 the same figures are given, Llangennech being 
 described as a chapel-of-ease to Llanelly. In the registers 
 as kept by Mr. Pinaud several marriages are entered 
 which were solemnised at Llangennech. David Davies is 
 the only curate of Llanelly mentioned in the registers of 
 that time unless we except “ Mr. Thos. Dalton and Mr. 
 Luke Grwyn.” 
 
 Of the Pev. James Pinaud himself we know practically 
 nothing. In 1758 we have a marriage at the “ Yicaridge 
 House,” the ‘‘Vicar being so indisposed as not to venture 
 out of doors.” Perhaps he was of delicate health as he was 
 in the prime of life at the time of his decease, which 
 occurred in 1761 : a careful search for his tomb has met 
 with no success. The “ Vicaridge House ” stood in the pre- 
 sent Church Street, on the site of the residence of Mr. 
 Gwilym Evans. It was a thatched cottage, and was, we 
 believe, standing in the early part of the present century. It 
 was taken down and replaced by the larger house known 
 colloquially as the Old Vicarage. We now x^ass from Mr. 
 Pinaud, regretting our inability to furnish more details of 
 a good, x)ainstaking and meritorious clergyman.

 six months Llanelly was without a vicar. The 
 |Q patron, for some reason or other, made no 
 
 jH presentation, and the parish appears to have 
 
 been in charge of the curate, Eev. John Jones. 
 The legal limit expiring, the bishop appointed to the 
 vacancy the Eev. Theophilus Davies. Of this worthy 
 ngain we know little or nothing, though he held the living 
 for a quarter of a century. His name occurs amongst the 
 subscribers to an old copy of The AYelshman’s Candle ” 
 on our shelves, and who knows that, from John AYesley’s 
 many visits to the place, he may not have imbibed some of 
 the revival spirit wliich breathed in the poems of the saintly 
 ATcar Prichard ? 
 
 Let us now turn to a most interesting epoch in local 
 histoiy — that comprised in the closing years of the pasto- 
 rate of Air. Pinaud, and the lifetime of his successor. 
 The commercial development of the town may be said to 
 have commenced with the second half of the Eighteenth 
 Centiiiy. The pioneer was Sir Thomas Stepney, seventli 
 Baronet, who entered upon the property in 1748, at the 
 early age of twenty- three years. Sir Thomas was a man 
 of the right mould. ‘‘He applied himself sedulously te^ 
 the improvement of his estate, and before his death which 
 occurred 24 years afterwards, he largely developed the 
 mineral wealth that lay beneath his land, encouraged the- 
 coal trade and the transport of the mineral by water. He 
 also made improvements in the fisheries of his neighbour- 
 hood, and had a new sort of vessel constructed, called by 
 his correspondents ‘busses,’ which were used in conveying- 
 the product of the fishery. . . . Air. Thomas Cole, writing 
 from London on business the 6th January, 1750, has the 
 following : — ‘ Air. Gibson and his friend Captain Biggin 
 talk of coming down to see you and view your coal- works. 
 This Captain Biggin is master of a great deal of ready cash 
 and the greatest dealer in coals in Europe. He says if he

 likes your coals and you can load large skips, lie'll under- 
 take to vend you fifty or sixty thousand chaldrons a year. 
 He at the same time very much likes the last account you 
 sent of your harbour.’ ” Sir Thomas’s energy 
 
 appears to have been contagious, for during his lifetime 
 other vigorous efforts at coal winning, besides his 
 own, were made in all directions. We have already re- 
 ferred to Chauncey Townshend, who was an M.P. and a. 
 merchant and alderman of London, and promoted the trade 
 of Swansea as well as that of this place, f In 1784 was 
 commenced the Wern ironworks, which fo 
 
 Yaldens, members of an old Hampshire house. In 1831> 
 the foundry was transferred to Mr. Ilichard Nevill, junr., 
 who still retains it : so that the Wern foundry may fairly 
 claim to be, by many years, the oldest “ going ” works in 
 the town of Llanelly. The names of other pioneers might 
 be mentioned, but such matters are more suited for a full 
 account of the commercial development of Llanelly, and 
 we therefore pass rapidly on. 
 
 Ail this industry and enterprise must have had a most 
 invigorating effect upon the village of Llanelly. Indeed 
 the place was already beginning to shape itself into roads 
 and streets, and a glance at a contemporary map shows 
 clearly, though quaintly, the nucleus of the present town. 
 In the Stepney Estate-book for 1761 a plan, carefully 
 drawn, appears, and though its value is somewhat lessened 
 by the fact that other house property is not necessarily in- 
 dicated, yet there is quite sufficient to convey an idea of 
 Llanelly as it stoud one hundred and thirty years ago. 
 
 To describe the place, with this old map for guide, may 
 2 )rove a not unprofitable task. A rough elevation of the 
 Parish Church shows the presence of one very curious 
 feature. To the rear of the tower, half way along 
 the roof, rises a smaller turret, giving the whole a most 
 singular appearance. The churchyard, then as now, was 
 bounded by a wall, on the south and north west ; but 
 Ifridge Street vras narrower even than at present — in fact 
 little more than a pathway. To the north and east of the 
 Church were houses, whilst a broken line of cotiages marked 
 the present Oxen and Thomas street. LTnion Square, accord- 
 ing to the map, was much as now, and so was Cilheol.

 The main thoroughfare was Church Street — one long con- 
 tiiiiious row of houses, for then there was no Hall Street as 
 at present to divide it into Upper and Lower. To return 
 to our starting point : Llanelly House formed the west ex- 
 tremity of Bridge Street, and the rest appears to have been 
 one long building from the ‘ Old Bank ’ to Falcon Bridge. 
 At Elm Grrove were a few cottages, and Water Street, with 
 its familiar curve, stood much as today. The site of the 
 ‘ Beehive ’ was occupied by what was evidently a superior 
 liouse, for it is depicted as quite the equal of Vauxhail. 
 Curiously enough it stood back from the street exactly as 
 the ‘Beehive ’ does now. From Water Street, east and south, 
 was pasture-land, dotted with perhaps a cottage here and 
 there. 
 
 A house, somewhat larger than its fellows, stood on the 
 site of the present Athenanim, and from the ‘ Salutation ’ to 
 Xing Square were cottages, forming the opposite side of 
 the present Lower Church Street, and of course including 
 the “ Vicaridge House.” In the neighbourhood of King 
 Square and Spring Gardens were a number of houses, 
 the site of Bradbury Hall and the York Hotel being 
 occupied by cottages, which were also to be foiiii(i 
 within the limits of the present Park. Such was- 
 the town or village 6i Llanelly according to this 
 old estate-map of 1761. Yery much of what is now occu- 
 pied by houses was the “ Green (or great) garden,” comiiig 
 down to the Lliedi bank. Near Mincing lane were the 
 Hothouse Gardens. Where Market Street now stands were 
 the Pickyard and Orchard, whilst from our Yaughan Street 
 to Bradbury Flail ran the New Garden. These and the 
 neighbouring grounds were the original of the Old Park, 
 once the pride of Llanelly, and when this delightful spot 
 was rooted up and swept away to make room for streets, 
 und shopping, and market sheds, the townsfolk might well 
 have lifted up their voice and cried — “Ichabod ! the glory 
 is departed.” 
 
 AVhere now stands Lloyd Street was in 1761 Bradbury^s 
 Field. The old Poman encampment appeared as it did within 
 the last dozen or fifteen ^nars ; it is called in the plan Old 
 Castle, and the field in which it stood is described as Little 
 Castle.'*' From Bradbury Hall a footpath ran in the direc- 
 
 The name Old Castle would appear to indicate that a stronghold of 
 some sort once existed at Llanelly. Years ago extensive rnins were to 
 be seen near the present Old Castle ijit, and it is said that from the sam-

 tion of tlie present Park Cliapei. Thence almost to AIjj 
 stretched Jires Fawr. The Wern is represented on the 
 map by two or three houses designated Park y W ern cot- 
 tages and gardens. The present Marble Hall Poad was a 
 footpath, but there is no clue to the origin of that extra- 
 ordinary name. The Mill near Llanerch existed, of course, 
 in 1761, and between it and the AVern, and eastward, lay 
 various fields called Park Llwm y Fedwen, Ca Twmbach, 
 Gwainlle yr AVhiad, Cadu (stated in the plan to be occupied 
 by a Mr. Kitson), A¥ain Cradock, the Cows’ Field, Kilwrfa 
 Field, and Kilwrfa Gardens. AA^e conclude our survey of 
 this old and deeply interesting map by noting that Llanelly, 
 in Sir Thomas Stepney’s time, possessed bridges on the 
 site of the present Falcon and Pont y Felin Dan. 
 
 AVe referred just now to the visits cf John AVesley to the 
 town, but before descGbing them we shall take occasion to 
 state that during the Eighteenth Century the four great 
 Nonconforming sects obtained a more or less firm footing- 
 in the neighbourhood. AATth the rise and subsequent pro- 
 gress of Dissenting Christianity we do not concern ourselves, 
 but a most interesting work might be devoted to the 
 subj ect. 
 
 John AVesley’s visits to Llanelly are all recorded in his 
 fascinating Journal^ and containing as they do some curious 
 information relating to the church and town, they demand 
 ]nore than a passing reference. On his first journey 
 through South AVest AVales the good man does not appear 
 to have stayed at LlanelK, though he was in the neighbour- 
 hood, for he mentions Kidwelly and bewails those wild 
 interminable sauds “ with many streams of quicksands in- 
 termixed,” wLere he was in considerable peril in crossing 
 over to ‘‘ Oxwych.” On the 8th of August, 1768, says the 
 devoted diarist, ‘‘I rode to Llanelly and preached to a, 
 small ecirnest company on ‘ Ye are saved through faith.’ ” 
 1771, Aug. 26, ‘‘1 rode to Llanelly and at six read prayers, 
 and preached in another large church, almost as ruinous as 
 tliat at Pembroke. The congregation was numerous ; yet 
 
 mit of the walls Lough or Castle could be plainly seen : so the remains 
 must have been considerable. The Bigyn was presumably used for 
 -signalling purposes — hence the name, a corruption of Beacon. Its 
 adaptability for such a purpose was admirably displayed on the night 
 of the celebration of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. 
 
 Llanelly was not unknow-n to other evangelists. Vicar Pritchard, 
 we understand, preached here many times ; so did Christmas Evans 
 and other worthies, nor should it be forgotten that Christmas made 
 his lirst great impression at the neighbouring village of Eelinfoel.

 most of them seemed to understand what they heard, 
 which is somewhat strange as little English was spoken 
 locally ; but doubtless the preacher’s earnestness and lir^ 
 earried with them their own interpretation.'*' The following 
 year, Aug. 24 (nearly all his visits were in August), Wes- 
 ley again visited this place, but his diary simply recalls the 
 fact, though so zealous was he that w^e may be sure the op- 
 portunity was not let slip of saying a word in season. 
 
 In 1772 Sir Thomas Stepney died, and in 1774, Aug. 18^ 
 appears this note in Wesley’s journal: — “I went on to 
 Llanelly. But what a change was there! Sir Thomas 
 Stepney, the father of the poor, was dead ! Cut down in 
 the strength of his years I” Words like these fiom a man 
 of the keen discrimination of Wesley are indeed a tribute. 
 They show that then, as now, goodness of heart vras the 
 ruling characteristic of the house of Stepney. But let us 
 hear Wesley to the end. “ So the family was broke up, 
 and Wilfred Colley, his butler, the father of the Society, 
 obliged to remove. Soon after John Deer, who was next 
 in usefulness to him, was taken into Abraham’s bosom ; 
 but just then Col. St. Leger, in the neighbourhood, sent to 
 'Gatway, for Lieutenant Cook to come and put his house 
 into repair and manage his estate. So another is brought 
 just in time to supply the place of Wilfred Colley ! I’ 
 preached at five near Sister Deer’s door f to a good compan^^ 
 of plain country-people ; and then rode over to the old 
 ruinous house, which Mr. Cook is making all haste to re- 
 pair. It is not unlike old Mr. Gwynne’s house at Garth, 
 having a few large handsome rooms. It is also situated 
 much like that only not quite so low ; for it has the com- 
 mand of a well cultivated vale, and of the fruitful side of 
 the opposite mountain.” In 1777 and 1779 John Wesley 
 again paid visits to Llanelly. In the latter year, Aug. 24, 
 
 at eleven, though the sun was intensely hot, I stood at 
 the end of the churchyard in Llanelly, and took occasion 
 from a passing bell strongly to enforce those words, ‘ It is 
 
 ^ Tradition says, such was Wesley’s oratorical power that notwith- 
 standing* the people’s ignorance of English, their feelings were ren- 
 dered almost uncontrollable, and they were unable to retain their seats ! 
 Students familiar with the times will recognise in Wesley’s being* 
 permitted to preach in the church a strong proof that the Eev. 
 Tlieophilus Davies was a broad and liberal-minded man.

 Street. Here was afterwards situated the post office, kept 50 years 
 ago by the grandfather of our townsman, Mr, J. B, Morgan.

 jiX)poiiitod unto men once to die.’ ” In 1788, Aug. 26, tlie 
 illustrious divine again honored Llanelly with his presence, 
 and he preached as he quaintly says “to all the gentry iu 
 the town.” This was his last appearance in the jjlace. It 
 is not many years since an old Llanellyite passed away on 
 whose shoulder, as a boy, John Wesley leaned when ex- 
 horting the people. A letter of AVesley’s and the guinea, 
 which he gave to the little cause — for he not only preached 
 but practised ! — are still treasured by the Buckley family. 
 
 About the year 1786, one Alatthews made a “ Tour of 
 Observation and Sentiment through S. Wales.” Amongst 
 other places he visited our town, and speaks in glowing 
 terms of the “comfortable little inn at Llanelthy.” He 
 also mentions “roads and streets,” and describes the vill- 
 agers as “simple” people. The inn, he informs us, was 
 “ the abode of two most respectable persons, of their order, 
 in the middle station of life.” AVith the hostess he had 
 some chat of a religious nature, and “the conversation with 
 my landlady being brought to a conclusion, I left her in 
 the midst of her line family of children, studying the scrip- 
 tures in a large handsome octavo Bible, and occasionally 
 referring to Bishop Burkett’s folio exposition, which lay 
 by her on the table.” A funeral which Matthews observed 
 ill the churchyard impressed him so much that lie wrote a 
 long poem on “The Grraves of Llanelthy,” Avliich may bo 
 road in his curious little book. 
 
 AVe are conscious of considerable deviation from our 
 theme, but the Llanelljute who cares to read of the place as 
 it was in by-gone days, will forgive us. Eeturning 
 to the parish church we note from AVesley’s com- 
 ments that it wms in a dilapidated state. In 1763 the fol- 
 lowing details wmre given in reference to the church and 
 its chapels-of-ease : — “ Llanelly V. alias Llan-Elli, St. 
 Elliew. Eri. Kidwelly Bropr. Duke of Somerset Impr.

 the lifetime of Eev. Theophilus Davies, the names of the 
 following curates occur : — Joseph Mathews, Jolin AVilliams, 
 Tliomas Alorris, AVilliam Uewelyn, and Daniel Evans : re- 
 ference is also made in the registers to the “Eev. Mr. 
 Evan Davies,” married in the year 1783.

 Pees Jones entered on the curacy the fol- 
 lowing October. Pev. Jeremiah Davies was in- 
 stituted Nov. 19 of the same year, and though 
 the register says that ho ‘‘ commenced vicar ” 1st June, 
 1787, it adds, Jeremiah Davies, Yicar of Llanelly, “came 
 to live there, ” Oct. 13, 1789. In this good mean’s time 
 Llanelly made still greater strides, and we come to the days 
 of the Pabys, Nevills, Pembertons — men of enterprise and 
 strength, under whose commercial influence the place ad- 
 vanced by leaps and bounds. There were indeed “giants 
 in those da^ s.” 
 
 Eirst and foremost pioneer comes one whose name de- 
 serves to be held in lasting remembrance — Mr. Alexander 
 Paby. Like the Y’aldens, of whom we spoke at an earlier 
 stage, Mr. Paby was higldy connected ; but nature had 
 made of him a man of business. Whether or no tliis was 
 fortunate for him, it was indeed a blessing to Llanelly. 
 His ancestors were, at one time, Barons Paby, of Paby 
 Castle, in the North ; but the head of the family fell on the 
 scaffold under the Stuarts, the estates were confiscated, and 
 their owners reduced to comparative indigence. Mr Paby 
 however appears to have retrieved, for Cobham Park in 
 Surrey was his property; but in conjunction with his son 
 he sold it, and brought to business in Wales no less a sum 
 than £175,000. He was first of all in partnership with Sir 
 Benjamin Harnett and Mr. Pichard Crawshay in works 
 near Saundersfoot. The three dissolved partnership. 
 Crawshay went to Glamorganshire and prospered ; Paby 
 to Carmarthenshire where after a gallant struggle with tho 
 times he lost the whole of his large investment. His 
 operations at Llanelly may be summarised as follows in 
 the graphic words of Mr. J. Beavan Phillips f : — “ He took

 io tlie blast Furnace at Cwmddycbe Farm. It bad been 
 started by Messrs. Givers and Ingman in 1791, and they 
 parted with it to Baby in 1796. The ruins of that furnaco 
 may still be seen at the village wFich sprang up around it, 
 and which is still called ‘ The Furnace.’ He was a man of 
 capital and large experience, and of great knowledge in the 
 iron trade. His enterprise and great energy brought him 
 into note and he is very favorably spoken of in Smiles’ 
 ^‘History of Iron and Iron-making.” He at once went 
 thoroughly to work here. He erected another furnace, 
 started a brick- works, put up six steam engines, and estab- 
 lished a forge to roll his pig-iron at a place which is still 
 known by the name. He laid tramroads, and built uj)- 
 wards of a hundred cottages at Forge, Caerelms, Furnaco 
 and Pentrepoth for his workpeople. They are still to be 
 seen at these various places in a more or less dilapidated 
 condition, and I merely mention them to show you that Mr 
 Alexander Baby may fairly be looked upon as the pioneer 
 of the industries of Llanelly. He energetically set to work 
 to establish large manufactories here. He not only had 
 blast furnaces and forge, but he sank coal-pits at Cae-bad, 
 <Iaerelms and Caemaen. . . He certainly did his best to^ 
 deserve that success which was not accorded to him, for wo 
 hear that in 1807, not many years after he began, the posi- 
 tion of the iron trade and matters generally caused him to 
 fall upon evil days, and he had to fail. Then the indus- 
 tries at the Furnace and Forge collapsed. . . . One curious 
 fact in connection with the blast furnaces at the Furnace, 
 as showing the extensive works which Mr Baby carried on 
 and the extensive ground he covered, is this : I was making 
 a tennis lawn at Myrtle last spring, and to make it level I 
 had to dig up a considerable amount of the surface, and 
 there I came upon some of Mr. Baby’s old rails which were 
 laid down by him from his weigh-house to his blctst-furnaco 
 at the commencement of this century.” 
 
 Mr. Baby was in many ways a remarkable character. 
 He was a tall, handsome man, w’ore black silk stockings 
 and knee breeches, w ith cloth gaiters, being very proud of 
 a W' ell- shaped leg. High-minded and eccentric, he w^as 
 alwmys doing strange acts of kindness. One or tw'O anec- 
 <lotes may not be without interest. On one occasion he 
 wvas so struck with the sharpness of a lad who carried a 
 y)ack about the country that he took him into his countings 
 house and made a clerk of him. At another time he went 
 
XXXlll. 
 
 io tlie gaol at Carmarthen on business, and saw a man wlia 
 was confined for debt. He was struck by the man’s con- 
 versation, paid the debt, obtained his release, took him to 
 Llanelly, and gave him a clerkship. His chief manager at 
 one period was an old gentleman wlio had been a personal 
 iriend of his in early years, but wlio had run through his 
 fortune. Mr. Haby met him in London, brought him to 
 "Wales, gave him rooms in his own residence, and appointed 
 liiin his confidential agent. 
 
 Mr. Haby built, and resided, at the house now known as 
 the Hell, and a descendant of his, still living, writes : ‘Hn 
 iny childish days I can just remember him driving off 
 every morning from, what was called, ‘ the big house,’ in 
 his ‘ buggy ’ with his old servant Tom Lewis, to tlie works.” 
 Mr. Haby was very kind to liis faitliful employes. Tom 
 Lewis was an old and valued servant, and was, we believe, 
 an uncle to Mr. Titus Lewis, late of Llanelly. After his 
 removal from this place Mr. Eaby resided many years at 
 Lurcott House, Somerset. His wife is buried in Llanelly 
 Church : his son lived for years at Brynmor, and died in 
 1856. Mr. Alexander Eaby closed a busy life March 3, 
 1835, at the ripe age of 88, and lies interred in the city of 
 "Wells. No portrait is extant of a man whose connection 
 with Llanelly will not soon be obliterated from grateful 
 remembrance. 
 
 Following on Mr. Baby’s operations came the establish- 
 ment of the fine old Llanelly Oopperworks, which will ever 
 be linked with the honored name of Nevill. Grant Francis, 
 describing the copper trade in Wales, observes : ‘Hn the 
 year 1805 a step was taken to the westward. At Llanelly 
 . . . . Messrs. Daniel, of Cornwall ; Savill, of London ; 
 
 Guest, of Birmingham ; and Nevill, of Swansea, selected 
 the site and erected the works called the Llanelly Copper- 
 works, which have been successfully carried on by some of 
 the original folk, or their representatives, from that time 
 to the j)resent day; Mr. Charles AV. Nevill remaining the 
 able and respected managing partner there.” In a note 
 Mr. Francis remarks that he had in his possession an 
 admirable drawing by Baxter, giving the appearance of the 
 Llanelly Copperworks in 1811. Mr. Charles Nevill, meni^ 
 Ler of the original firm, was a man of brain and parts. In 
 the words of one well qualified to speak, “ it was he made 
 the Copperworks, and the Copperworks made Llanelly.” 
 Mr. Eichard Janion Nevill — who had been connected with 
 
xxxiv. 
 
 Mr. Itfiby’s industries — was the worthy son of a worthy 
 sire. His portrait appears in Mr. Francis’ volume, and a 
 full-length painting by Brigstocke is in possession of tlio 
 town. Mr. Charles Nevill was a truly pious as well as able 
 man. An example of his goodness appears in the Camhrian^ 
 Aug. 30, 1805: — ‘‘At Llanelly, in Carmarthenshire, a 
 ]]Sunday] school has been established, in which nearly one 
 hundred and fifty young persons of both sexes receive the 
 rudiments of useful knowledge. The attention displayed 
 hy gentlemen of the neighborhood in visiting and person- 
 ally assisting in the noble task of moulding the youthful 
 mind, cannot be too highly extolled; and among these- 
 benefactors to the poor, the unremitting assiduity of Mr. 
 Nevill must ever entitle him to the grateful remembrance 
 ■of every friend of humanity.” Mr. Nevill died Oct. 1813, 
 aged 00 years, and was buried in the parish churchyard. 
 
 Besides these industries extensive mining operations 
 were conducted by the Pembertons, whose descendants — 
 Mr. C. P. Pobinson amongst them — still retain a large and 
 imx)ortant interest in the neighbourhood. These early 
 years saw great and unexampled activity — the sinking of 
 pits, building of works, laying of railways and tramways 
 in all directions. An Act was obtained for the improve- 
 ment of the town ; the harbour was charted and buoyed ; 
 docks were formed and the shipping trade expanded. The 
 population rapidly increased. “In the year 1795 the town 
 was so small that the late Capt. John Wedge made a bet 
 that there were not 500 people in Llanelly, and he won his 
 bet.” In 1801 the population of the parish was about 3000 
 by 1831 it was a dozen times as much as when the caj)tain 
 made his celebrated wager. It is the author’s hope, some 
 day, to furnish from newspaper tiles and other contemporary 
 sources, a succinct account of the rise and progress of the 
 neighbourhood during the present century, to which un- 
 dertaking this work will form an introduction, f 
 
 “ The resident population of this parish in 1801 (including’ the 
 hamlets of Berwick, the Borough, Glynn, Hen Coed, and Westowe)

 t Tlie following notes on Llanelly by contemporary writers are 
 ourious : — “ A small, irregular and dirty town, nor does the appearance 
 of its inhabitants v/ho are chiefly miners and sailors, contribute to 
 render it more inviting. The Llanelly coal is esteemed remarkably 
 good, and the gentlemen’s families in Cardiganshire are principally 
 mipplied with it” — Malkin’s “South Wales,” 1804. “There is a

 away. The Stepneys, however, were to return and enlarge 
 the scope of theirs. Not so the Mansels. For nearly two 
 centuries the house of Mansel liad exercised in the iieigh- 
 hourhood an important and a beneficial sway. But the end 
 was nigh. In 1806 died Sir Edward William Itichard 
 Mansel, of whose funeral at Pembrey Church a contem- 
 porary f says : — “ So great an assemblage has probably 
 never been witnessed iii that part of Carmarthenshire. . 
 
 . . This excellent young man, in whose memory pane- 
 
 gyric will be useless to those who had the honour to be 
 known to him, was the eldest son of Daniel Sliewen, Esip, 
 of Tliistleboon house, near Swansea, and married ]\Iary 
 Ann Margaret Mansell, only daughter of the late Sir 
 Edward Yaughan Mansell, Bart., and sister and solelieiress 
 of Sir Edward Josepli She wen Mansell, Bart. In 1802 , by 
 tlie King’s sign manual, he took the surname and the arms 
 of Mansell only. Multis ille fiebilis obiit.” His relict,

 old residents have still many stories to narrate — died sud- 
 denly at the Mackworth, Swansea, bequeathing lier pro-

 attempt was made to upset the will : it failed, and Stra-

 time and the mines still appear to bo inexhaustible. A large steam

 ever, was not all grime and coal-dust, for in the Cambrian (July 
 1804), we read : — “The gentry of Llanelly have subscribed liberally 
 for the formation of a x^romenade near the seaside, entirely for the 
 accommodation of the many genteel families that annually visit that 
 delightful spot, which for salubrious air and sea-bathing, few places 
 in the Principality can equal.” 
 
 * It may be interesting to note who were leading townsmen at 
 JAanelly in 1807. The Act of that year mentions the following : - - 
 “.John Eees, Alexander Eaby, Charles Neville, Henr}’- Eaton, Henry 
 Child, Alexander Eaby, Junior, Esquires; Wrn. Maurice, .John Hox)- 
 kins, Wm. Yalden, George Walker, and John Brown, gentlemen.”

 Meaiiwliile Llanelly House liad fallen upon evil days. 
 Says the Cambrian '. — ‘^The venerable old mansion of the 
 Stepney family, of Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, vdiich for 
 years has wept for the loss of its respectable owners, is now 
 divided into three distinct family messuages, and the out- 
 offices are also converting into comfortable tenements — aii 
 accommodation much wanted from the increase of popula- 
 tion in that neighborhood.” At a subsequent date its 
 ancient glories were somewhat revived, but only for a brief 
 period ; and now the fine old mansion, built, some say by 
 Inigo Jones, is a mere congeries of shops and offices — a 
 shadow of its former self. 
 
 During the lifetime of the Eev. Jeremiah Davies two 
 townsmen were prominent as schoolmasters. Eegarding 
 them a correspondent wrote as follows in the ^outli Walen 
 Fress some twenty years ago : — ‘‘So far as we can 
 ascertain, the earliest school within the borough of Llan- 
 elly, of which there is any reliable account, was conducted 
 by a William Maurice, in Wind Street, near the old Ibxoch 
 house, now occupied by Mr. James Griffiths as a storehouse. 
 Mr. Maurice kept a mixed school for boys and girls, and a 
 relative of the wndter, now^ deceased, was educated under 
 his auspices, and she had a vivid recollection of his 
 authority, and of the manner in wLich he exercised it. 
 Mr. Maurice attained a good old age, and was buried in 
 April, 1793. An inscription on a tablet in the tow^er of the 
 Parish Church intimates that he taught school in this towu 
 for upw'^ards of 50 years previously. Mr. John Howell, 
 wLo died in 1824, succeeded Mr. Morris, and besides the 
 tliree K’s taught his pupils the art of land-surveying, kir. 
 How^ell was in extensive practice as a surveyor, and his 
 well known map of the town of Llanelly, and adjoining 
 lands, made in 1814, is still highly prized.” This map, we 
 may add, is preserved at the Stepney Estate Office. 
 
 In 1 806 a schoolroom was opened adjoining the north side 
 of the church, and Sunday school W'as lield there for many 
 years, though the inmates were not sorry wdien the re- 
 moval took place to more commodious and comfortable 
 quarters. On the wall is the following inscription : — 
 
 School Koom was Erected at the Expence of this Parish. — 
 J. iMorris, H. Kees, C. Wardens, 1806.” 
 
 Various references are made to the aspect of Llanelly 
 Church by w inters in the early years of the present century. 
 Donovan remarks : — “ Llanelly Church is a large irregular

 building with two steeples, one a quadrangular embattled 
 tower, and the other with a tapering spire : the old cross 
 in the churchyard is not entirely demolished, the pyramid 
 of steps and the base of the shaft remaining.” The 
 
 Cambrian Guide,” 1813, observes that “the high square 
 embattled tower of the church is remarkable, in being 
 much wider at the base than upwards, forming a sort of 
 cone.” 
 
 At this time, to which the memory of the oldest inhabi- 
 tants alone has access, the churchyard was surrounded by 
 -a very low wall — so low that one could almost step across. 
 The lads of the town played ball there, and a match on 
 Ascension Fair Day betw^een players from Llanelly and 
 Kidwelly was an old established custom. The “ hopping ” 
 stone w’as near Mr. Isaac’s grave. The markets and fairs 
 were also held above the last home of the local dead. The 
 cockle stands were placed around the old cross ; the butter 
 was sold under the old s^^camore near Mr. Kaby’s tomb, 
 and the meat stalls were in Church Street near the Three 
 Crowns. All this may seem a singular proceeding, but the 
 Vicar appears to have been a quiet man and inclined to let 
 things take their course ; but it is said (doubtless by 
 ^eiiemies) that after business he went a round of discovery 
 for stray coppers ! He had one son Thomas Davies long 
 dead, and on his own decease his widow married a Mr. 
 Stephens of Gellyfawr. f The demise of this clergyman is 
 briefly announced in the Cambrian ioT May 20, 1820: — 
 “On Thursday night, at Llanelly, the Lev. Jeremiah. 
 Davies, Vicar of that parish.” 
 
 Was this an ecclesiastical or a market cross ? A sun-dial was 
 afterwards placed on the spot, prior to the present erection. 
 
 t The Rev. Jeremiah Davies is said to Lave been a connection of 
 the Goring-Thomas family. Persons still living were christened by him. 
 
CHAPTEE VII. 
 
 EBENEZER MORRIS, YICAR. — CHURCH RESTORATION. 
 
 HE EEY. EBENEZEE MOEEIS, perpetual curate * 
 of Llanon and Llanddarog, was last week insti- 
 tuted to the vicarage of Llanelly, on the presenta- 
 tion of Eees Goring Thomas, Esq., vacant by the 
 death of the Eev. Jeremiah Davies ” — Camhrian^ December 
 23, 1820. It is said that Mr. Clement (mentioned else- 
 where) was a rival with Mr. Morris for the coveted post. 
 Mr. Goring Thomas left the matter in the hands of the 
 parishioners, who chose Mr. Morris by overwhelming 
 inajority, and Clement (a worthy man in many ways) w'as 
 so piqued that he cut adrift and built a meeting-house of 
 his own — Capel Clement — to be afterwards described. 
 The Eev. Ebenezer Morris was through forty-seven 
 years a striking figure in local church history. A 
 few particulars regarding his career are gleaned from 
 Crockford’s Clerical Directory ” for I860. Mr. Morris 
 was ordained deacon in 1813 and priest in 1814 by the 
 Bishop of St. David’s. In the following year he became 
 perpetual curate of Llannon, and in 1818 he filled the same 
 otfice for the parish of Llanddarog. In 1819 he was curate 
 of Llanelly (according to the register) and, as we have 
 seen, upon the death of the Eev. Jeremiah Davies, was 
 appointed Vicar. He was afterwards Eural Dean of 
 Kidwelly; surrogate 1830; and Domestic Chaplain to the 
 Earl of Lisburne. Crockford concludes by assigning to 
 him the authorship of “ Sen ex and Juvenis on the Church.’^ 
 Mr. Morris was a man of noble and commanding 
 presence and magnificent physique. His bodily strength 
 was enormous, and many anecdotes are told of his prowess. 
 Mr. Morris was, almost literally, a fighting parson, and 
 often as he measured his strength with roystering bullies, 
 he never knew what it was to be vanquished. But let us 
 not misjudge this local Boanerges, this blutf, strong- 
 minded, broad-shouldered, heavy-handed son of the church. 
 He lived in a ruder, stormier time than ours. Those were 
 the days of Eeform, and Eebecca, and Chartism, and Church 
 Eate controversies. Hard blows were dealt by doughty 
 champions on either side, and let us not forget that if the 
 Church had her Morris, Nonconformity had its David Eees 
 
xxxix. 
 
 — foemen worthy of each other’s steel. It is not our inten- 
 tion to detail the incidents of Mr. Morris’ pastorate. Very 
 many townsmen are living who are perfectly familiar with 
 the story, and who know that popular as was Mr. Morris 
 at the commencement of his career, he made himself 
 obnoxious to lovers of the voluntary principle by his un- 
 compromising advocacy of tithes and church rates. 
 But the mutterings of controversy are hushed for ever, and 
 the ashes of the bluff old parson rest in peace beneath the 
 ^shadow of the church he loved so well. 
 
 In Mr. Morris’ lifetime, the fabric of the parish church 
 was thoroughly restored. The grand old tower stood firm 
 as ever ; but the body of the church showed signs of decre- 
 pitude, the roof wms in a miserable state, and the whole 
 edifice was unsuited to the wants of a fast-increasing" 
 population. We desire to be as circumstantial as 
 possible upon this portion of our subject, because there 
 were some curious points about the older structure which the 
 ruthless hand of the restorer unfortunately swept away. 
 Death moreover has been busy amongst all concerned with 
 the church prior to its restoration, and the following scat- 
 tered items are all €^6 are able to lay before the reader. 
 
 The main entrance to the old church was by a door in 
 the south wall, which had a f ar-proj ecting porch with stone 
 steps, and benches at the side. The position of the old 
 door is still distinctly traceable. The transepts were called 
 chapels, and known, the north as Glyn, the south as Ber- 
 wick chapel. There was but one gallery, immediately op- 
 posite the entrance door, the pulpit being to the right hand 
 side of the latter. There were in the body of the building 
 arches and columns, one of the pillars (as we have already 
 se’en) bearing the date 1683. The windows were small and 
 fitted with diamond panes. The pews were of the antiquated 
 t;yq)e now fast disapj)earing, and some bore the names of 
 farms in the parish. A respected resident of half a century 
 ago recollects ‘Ghere was a fine large family pew with a 
 good fireplace (!) in it, and a dear old relative used to stir the 
 fire quite as a matter of course without reference to the 
 noise.” Another correspondent speaks of having occupied a 
 pew “ in a sort of cross aisle under the window— a big square 
 pew. There were eight of these old pews in the church 
 with high wooden walls round them, and some folks had 
 curtains put on the top of these wooden walls to ‘ keep off 
 the draught ’ (they said), but probably to enable them to 
 sleep unseen, if the sermon was long,” But, adds this cor- 
 
xl. 
 
 respondent, Mr. Morris ‘ ‘ was in W elsli a rousing preacher : 
 no fear of sleep tlieny A special pew was set apart for 
 stragglers. 
 
 To the ‘‘little tower ” we made reference in an earlier 
 section. It is a thousand ]3ities that so quaint and rare an 
 appendage could not have been preserved. So far as we 
 have been able to glean, this turret (which was equal to 
 the main tower in height) was supported by four arches, 
 opening into the chancel, nave and transepts. Three of the 
 arches were removed to give additional accommodation, and 
 the tower of course had to follow. The little tower con- 
 tained a call-bell ; but its presence on the church at all is 
 to our mind a paradox, f 
 
 The great tower, we understand, has seen but little al- 
 teration. The old clock had a dial of brass (removed about 
 the year 1830); the hands are still with Mr. Hughes, 
 jeweller, Park Street, wdio has charge of the present time- 
 keeper. The works, he tells us, have not been superseded, 
 and must be at the very least a hundred years old. The- 
 movement is that known as the “shake-minute ” — an ob- 
 solete construction. The w^orks had a brass plate bearing 
 some inscription ; but that is now lost. The bells (old re- 
 sidents affirm) had one amongst their number of such 
 2>owerful tone as to be heard even from Pencoed and 
 Pembrey, and its vibrations affected the liquor in a neigh- 
 bouring public-house — a novel point in the annals of cam- 
 panology ! X Having, finally, cracked, they were sent to the 
 founders at Bridgwater to be remelted. The present peal 
 ar© six in number. Three of them bear the following 
 inscription : — 
 
 E. Morris, Yicar ; W. Eees and T. Samuel, C.W. J. Kingston, 
 Engineer, 1828.” 
 
 And the rest the following : — 
 
 ‘‘E. Morris, Yicar; E. J. Kevill and T. Samuel, C.^Yardens. J. 
 Kingston, Founders. Bridgwater, 1828,” 
 
 The old churchyard was larger than at present, and its 
 
 It is related that when Mr. Morris was on a visit to Llanelly be- 
 fore becoming Vicar, there was such a crowd to hear him preach 
 that the old gallery either cracked or actually gave way ! 
 f See special note in a subsequent portion of this book. 
 
 X The old bells, it appears, were only two in number, and we are 
 inclined to think that it was the one in the little tower which was 
 noted for its loud tone ; and the very large one in the main tower 
 whose vibrations produced such extraordinary effects, which prevented 
 its being frequently rung.

 propinquity to the Great House was once the cause of 
 an extraordinary incident. The then occupant, displeased 
 by the presence of the emblems of mortality beneath his 
 very windows, proposed to turn the yard into a flower- 
 garden and set apart another plot for future interments. 
 The parishioners were highly incensed at the idea of such 
 desecration, more especially as it was noised abroad that 
 the originator intended to remove the remains in carts to 
 their new resting place ! It was necessary for Parliament 
 to approve the alteration, and the late Mr. Paby was de- 
 putecl by the enraged parishioners to oppose. His opposi- 
 tion was successful, the churchyard was saved to the parish, 
 and the bells ‘‘rang backward ” for joy. 
 
 The churchyard-gate was a quaint construction. Hear 
 it stood the stocks, for the symbol of civil power was pre- 
 sumably rendered more terrible by its nearness to the 
 spiritual centre of the parish. Many persons now living 
 recollect delinquents in the stocks, and we regret, for more 
 reasons than one, the removal of the time-honored and 
 elffectual appliance. It is said that a bull-baiting ring 
 once stood close at hand. When the yard was 
 encroached upon for the purpose of widening the streets, 
 many remnants of mortality were exposed to view. One 
 skull of exceptional size is mentioned to us as having been 
 laid bare. The remains were re-interred elsevrhere, and 
 the gravestones removed to other portions of the burying 
 ground. There were in former times other entrances, now 
 walled up. 
 
 But we are forestalling our narrative by some ^mars, 
 and we must leturn to the alteration and enlargement of the 
 church. This was partially effected prior to 1830 and com- 
 pleted in 1845, and though the persons concerned did 
 their work with the best intentions, we cannot 
 but regret that the restoration did not take place at a 
 time when church architecture was held in higher estima- 
 tion. The renovators of to-day would, on no account, 
 have sacrificed the little tower ; but their predecessors 
 were of a different opinion, and the cjuaint appendage 
 ceased to exist, except in cyclopedias imperfectly revised. 
 It is a melancholy gratification to learn that the contractor 
 charged with the demolition of the turret found the task so 
 
 * A statement that the stocks were still to be found amongst the- 
 lumber in the old market-place unfortunately turned out to be founded 
 on misapprehension. 
 
xlii. 
 
 onerous tliat lie was not able to make any profit by that 
 portion of the business. '* ** The buttresses w’ere added at this 
 time, a portion of the stonework being dressed in the 
 schoolroom adjoining the church, which was considerably 
 reduced in size to make way for a window in the main 
 edifice. The windows in the nave were enlarged, galleries 
 erected, the old porch walled up, and the entrance arranged 
 through the great west tower. The puljiit and font were also 
 transferred to their present position. During the altera- 
 tion of the church, the congregation worshijiped in a room 
 off Thomas Street ; but marriages were performed in the 
 building even when roofless, and townsfolk are still living 
 who underwent the ceremony under these unwonted condi- 
 tions. At length the restoration was accomplished, and 
 the reopening is thus described, the same account appear- 
 ing (curiously enough) in the three ‘ ‘ local ” organs of the 
 time, the Welshman^ Cambrian and Carmarthen Journal : — 
 
 ‘‘ The IIe-opexixo of Llaxelly Chuhch. — We Have great 
 pleasure in announcing that this church, which has been closed for- 
 the last seven months, during which time it has been thoroughly 
 repaired and enlarged, was re-opened by the Lord Bishop of St. 
 David’s, on Wednesday, the 22nd inst., on which occasion his 
 Lordship x^i’cached twice, in the morning in English, and in the 
 evening in Welsh. Prayers having been read at 11 o’clock by the 
 Yicar, the Rev. E. Morris, his Lordship preached an orthodox, 
 eloquent and spiritual diseourse from the words, ‘ M will glorify 
 the house of my glory,” Isaiah, c. 60, v. 7, to a full and respectable 
 congregation. At half jiast six, the Welsh service commenced, 
 when his Lordship took his text from Eph. 4, 23, ‘‘ And be ye re- 
 newed in the spirit of your mind.” The manner in which he 
 treated the subj ect and the easy and fluent delivery of his sermon 
 in Welsh astonished, and at the same time gratifled, all present. 
 The ehurch was crowded to excess with attentive hearers, supj^osed 
 to be nearly 2000 persons, as the aisles, chancel and three galleries, 
 as well as the body of the church and its transepts were full. The- 
 collections after both sermons amounted to nearly £60, being very 
 ample, as most of the hearers had before subscribed. The whole 
 cost and improvements of the building amounts to about £1,100, 
 £300 of which had been provided by church rate, £180 from ‘ the 
 Incorporated Society for the building and enlarging of churches,’ 
 and the remainder is to be made up by subscription, the deficiency 
 being £150. The repairs of the chancel devolve ux^on Rees Goring 
 Thomas, Esq., the lay impropriator of the parish, and the outlay 
 iiX)on the present occasion is supposed to be £100. The handsome 
 pulpit hangings and cushions, being crimson Genoa velvet, with 
 silk fringe, were presented by the lady of David Lewis, Esq., of

 Stradey, and the altar covering and pede cloth were purchased by 
 collections made by ladies, members of the church. In the inter- 
 val between the services, the bishop and clergy, with other distin- 
 guished guests, were hospitably entertained at dinner by the lady 
 •of W. Chambers, Esq., jun., after the manner and style of English 
 customs of the olden times. W. Chambers, Esq., x)resided at the 
 sumptuous board, in the ancient wainscoted hall, and distinguished 
 himself much by his affability and suavity of manners. Praise is 
 due to the churchwardens, more especially to Morgan Williams, 
 Esq., whose exertions were indefatigable in carrying the improve- 
 ments into effect and completing the work, and it is to be hoped 
 that the parishioners will not suffer his zealous and laudable efforts 
 to pass unacknowledged, but tliat they will testify by some tangible 
 token tiieir lasting obligations to him, having been the chief inter- 
 est in securing for them and their children a temple meet for the 
 worship of God. The improvements were carried on under the 
 -able superintendence of Edward Bagot, Esq., whose attention and 
 skill are deservedly appreciated.” 
 
 A notice board in the new entrance under the tower 
 gives the following particulars : — 
 
 “This Church Avas enlarged in the year 1845, by vdiich means 205 
 additional sittings are obtained, and in consequence of a grant 
 from the Incorporated Society for promoting the enlargement, 
 building and repairing of churches and chapels, the Avhole of that 
 number are hereby declared to be free and unappropriated for ever, 
 the provision of (diurch room previously to the alteration being to 
 the extent of 445 sittings, 431 of which number are free. A plan 
 showing the situation and number of the free seats is fixed up in the 
 A^estry room. Ebeiiezer Morris, vicar ; Morgan Williams, William 
 Morris, churchAvardens. Llanelly, January 16th, 1846. E. Bagot,.

 A few more words as to the church before we pass 
 to other subjects. Of the old communion cup we have 
 already spoken. The other vessels are of modern date, 
 und all of them of solid silver. A handsome chalice bears 
 the following inscri^^tion : — 
 
 “In Usum Ecclesise Llanelly. D.D. Laetitia Lewis de Stradey 
 In Hoc Com : A.D. 1850.” 
 
 Some words round the bottom cannot be deciphered. A 
 flagon and paten ai^e thus inscribed : — 
 
 ‘ ‘ Presented by the Communicants to Llanelly Church, A.D. 1850.” 
 
 The remaining bread-plate has the following inscrip- 
 tion 
 
 “ Llanelly Church, John Hughes and William Williams, church- 
 wardens.” 
 
 In 1854 the organ was erected, the cost — nearly £300 — 
 being covered by subscriptions. There had previously 
 
xliv. 
 
 "been in use for some jeavs a serapliine, the gift of Mr. 
 David Lewis, of Stradey. 
 
 It is curious to note that early in the century it w^as the 
 custom for the congregation to bow at the recital of 
 “ Gloria Patri.’’ 
 
 In 1837 were opened the National schools on the Wern. 
 These buildings were subsequently abandoned on account 
 (we believe) of the foundations giving way, and they are 
 now a melancholy ruin. A stone, however, is still in place 
 Avhich bears the following inscription : — 
 
 “Llanelly Boys’ jS'ational School, completed An. Dorn. 1837. 
 Lev. E. Morris, Vicar.” 
 
 In 1850, the parish churchyard being too small for 
 local requirements, an additional burying ground was pro- 
 vided on the hill behind Old Poad, and was consecrated by 
 the Bishop the 12th of December. Some years later the 
 last church rate was levied — to pay off the balance of money 
 borrowed of the late Mr. David Morris, M.P., for the 
 acquirement of the land forming the cemetery and the im- 
 provement of the ancient burying-ground. It was a 
 heavy rate — about elevenpence in the pound, and the fact 
 forms a curious and interesting reminiscence. 
 
 It was in the pastorate of the Rev. Ebenezer Morris that 
 the first of a series of steps was taken towards the extension 
 of church work and influence in the neighbourhood. We 
 refer to the formation of St. Paul’s as a separate ecclesiastical 
 parish, which took place in December, 1846. The popula- 
 tion of the new district was 4500 souls. The church was 
 erected by voluntary subscriptions and a grant from the 
 Church Building Society, and was consecrated December 
 13, 1850. The first vicar was the Rev. David Edward 
 Williams, who was licensed to the district July 21^ 1847. 
 Mr. Williams — a man of superior parts — removed ini 876 
 to Llangammarch, and was succeeded by the Rev. D. D. 
 Jones, the present active and zealous incumbent. During the 
 last 40 years St. Paul’s Church has been once restored, and 
 two chapels-of-ease, a mission room and various schoolrooms 
 have been erected in the parish. It is expected that the 
 Docks will ere long be formed into a separate ecclesiastical 
 district on account of the rapid increase in the population. 
 
 During the pastorate of Mr. Morris the names of the 
 following are mentioned as clerg}" and assistants : — J. 
 Jones, T. Morgan, D. Evans, R. H. Janies, Isaac Row- 
 lands, G. E. Rees, J. Griffiths, D. M. Rees, Henry Evans,

 During the last few years of his long life, the Vicar was 
 Tery feeble, and used to be wheeled about in a little car- 
 riage. He died at the old Vicarage, April 18, 1867, aged 
 77 years. At his funeral the Bevs. John Griffiths, Cwm- 
 avon (late curate of the church) and A. J. M. Green 
 (curate) officiated, the funeral sermon being preached by 
 the Eev. J. Griffiths. 
 
 CIIAPTEE VIII. 
 
 CAXOX WILLIAMS, YICAH. 
 
 E ^EPTEMBEE 17, 1867, on the presentation of the 
 3 late Mr. Eees Gorijig Thomas, the Eev. David 
 § Williams (the present incumbent) was instituted 
 S to the vicarage of LlanelljL Mr. Williams is 
 the son of the late Mr. Evan Williams, of Troedyrharn, 
 near Brecon, and was born at Troedyrharn. He was 
 educated at St. David’s College ; ordained deacon 1848, and 
 2 )riest the following year by Dr. Thirlwall, Bishop of St. 
 David’s. In 1854 he became rector of the neighbouring 
 parish of Llanedy, and he has also filled the chair of Welsh 
 Ihofessor at Lampeter College. 
 
 For many years the Sunday School had assembled in the 
 little room on the north side of the Church. Wiien this 
 became overcrowded and uncomfortable, recourse was had 
 to the British School in Market Street, where accommoda- 
 tion at a low rent was obtained for a considerable period. 
 In 1867 the National Schools at Pembrey Eoad — familiarly 
 known as “ Pen tip,” through their being erected on the 
 debris of the old Caemain Collier}^ — were opened by the> 
 JBishop. The building is picturesque, but for general 
 Church meetings is somewhat remote, and the fine new 
 hall at Church Street will be hailed as a blessing by all 
 whom it concerns. 
 
 In 1874 was consecrated the handsome chapel-of-ease of 
 All Saints’, on land at Goring Eoad, the gift of the late 
 Mr. E. Goring Thomas. ‘‘It was erected entirely by 
 voluntary contributions, through the efforts of the present 
 
xlvi. 
 
 Ticar . . . assisted by the zealous laity of the parish.”" 
 All Saints’ is now undergoing* enlargement ; but it will be 
 some time before the design of the gifted architect (the 
 late Mr. Street) is carried out in its entirety. 
 
 In 1879 another separate ecclesiastical parish was 
 formed, having for its centre the church of Holy Trinity^ 
 Helinfoel, and including in its jurisdiction Graiglwyd, 
 Hive Eoads, and parts of Furnace and Pontyberem. Muni- 
 ficent donations towards Holy Trinity (erected 1858) were-- 
 made by the Eev. J. Y. Nevill and Mr. C. W. Nevill, of 
 A\Ystfa, the latter giving £1000, in accordance with the- 
 wish of his father, Mr. E. J. Nevill, expressed just before 
 liis decease. The j)rosent vicar is the Eev. J. AY. Eoberts. 
 The churchyard is considered one of the most pictuvesque 
 in Carmarthenshire. 
 
 Contemporary with the last-named parish is that of 
 Dafen, having for its centre the pretty church of St 
 Michael and All Angels. This was consecrated in 1874, 
 the j)i‘incipal contributors being Messrs. Phillips, Nunes 
 and Co. A mission chapel has been built near the old 
 ruin of St. David’s, and a vicarage also erected on ground 
 the gift of that truly devoted churchman, Mr. J. T. 1). 
 Llewellyn. The first vicar was the Eev. Anthony Britten, 
 late cui\ate of St. Elly’s, and now A^icar of Penbryn, Car- 
 diganshire. He has a worthy successor in the Eev. David 
 Davies. 
 
 AVe have reviewed very briefly the events of the last few 
 years, and now proceed to make some quotations on the 
 matter of Church property in the parish. AVe know that 
 the tithes were appropriated by John of Gaunt to tha 
 Collegiate Church of St. Alary’s, Leicester ; that the 
 ATcarage was worth £6 6s. 8d. in the A^alor Ecclesiasticus 
 of Henry AHII. : £27 6s. 8d. in the time of Queen Anne. 
 The first grant to augment the benefice, which consisted of 
 £200, was given by the Alarquis of Granby in 1753. This 
 was met with an equal sum by the Governors of Queen 
 Anne’s Bounty in 1754. In the same year, this sum of 
 £400, with other benefactions, was laid out in the purchase 
 of a farm called Croesfan, consisting of a farm-house and 
 out-buildings, and 62 acres inclosed in the Parish of 
 Llanon. In 1812, a grant of £800 was given by Queen 
 Anne’s Bounty. In 1825, another sum of £200 was granted 
 by the same body. These two mentioned sums were in- 
 vested in Government Eunds ; and in 1842, this money was 
 laid out by the late Eev. Ebenezer Alorris, vicar of the 
 
. xlvii. 
 
 place, in tlie purchase of a farm called Blaennant, consisting* 
 of o2 acres, 1 rood, 22 perches, situated in Llanelli Parish, 
 with an allotment of 2 acres, 3 roods, 31 perches, on Syleii 
 Mountain. (Among the items of stipend paid to the Yicar, 
 returned to the Governors in 1812, there is one of 
 £11 13s. 4d., paid from time immemorial by the tithe-owner, 
 which, I pre.siime, were paid ever since the tithes were 
 ^’iven to the Monastery at Leicester). The value of the 
 benefice was up to the death of the late vicar, Ebenezer 
 Morris, £140 a year, which was derived from the two 
 farms, Blaennant and Croesfan ; cottages and field at Capel 
 Issa ; and the £ 1 1 1 3s. 4d. paid by the Lay Impropriator.’’ 
 
 The late Mr. Bees Goring Thomas “ inlierited from his 
 ancestors tlie advowson or right of appointing the Vicars 
 of Llanelly. It had come to them with the possession of 
 -the tithes. At the time of the decease of the late Vicar,. 
 Mr. Morris, the benefice was very ill endowed, which made 
 it necessary for him to hold the Vicarages of Llannon and 
 Llanddarrog together with it. But by that time, A.D. 
 1867, it was neither lawful nor desirable for the Vicar of 
 Llanelly to liold any other benefice with it. And yet 
 Llanelly alone was too small to afford a decent mainten- 
 ance for any clergyman. And being in private patronage 
 no assistance could be obtained from public sources, such 
 as the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, for its augmentation. 
 Mr. Tliomas therefore resolved to surrender the presenta- 
 tion to the Bishop of the Diocese ; thus placing it in pahlio 
 patronage, and making this poor benefice, whicii was tlien. 
 only wortli £140 a year, eligible for augmentation by the 
 Ecclesiastical Commissioners to £300 a year. It Avas a^ 
 most generous act on his part, as it Avas the most impor- 
 tant of three benefices in his gift. Those who are conscious 
 of the ability and desire to exercise church patronage for 
 the good of the parish, value it as affording them the 
 means of promoting the interests of the Church. For this 
 reason Mr. Thomas valued the patronage of Llanelly 
 Church. But for the sake of conferring a A^ery great 
 material benefit on it, he performed an act of real self- 
 denial in giving up the patronage to the Bishop of the 
 Diocese. The present Vicar was appointed by him. The 
 patronage is noAv vested in the Bishops of St. David’s for 
 -ever. Mr. Tliomas conferred a similar benefit on Llangen-

 The curates, &c., of the parish church under Canon 
 Williams have been as follow : — David Nicholl, John 
 Williams, A. B. Edwards, E-owland Griffiths, William 
 Griffiths, Anthony Britten, David Davies, and Samuel 
 Davies, f Since the opening of All Saints, the parislt 
 church is exclusively conlined to services in the vernacular. 
 
 It were presumption on our part to enlarge upon the 
 merits of the Dev. Canon Williams. He has been described 
 as “the model of a j)arish j)riest,” and the description is 
 just and accurate. Canon AVilliams in the twenty-one 
 years he has laboured at Llanelly, has gained the esteem 
 and respect of every citizen whose eyes are not blinded by 
 bigotry and prejudice. Deeply devoted to the Churcli, 
 minds at variance with his own encounter in the Canon a 
 doughty, though at all times a fair and generous, antago- 
 nist. In the pulpit, on the platform, in the press, he 
 grounds his principles on strong and weighty argument. 
 Yet it is not in Avords that The Vicar sets the brightest 
 example, but in deeds. None than he more active, more 
 zealous in good works ; none more tender to the poor ; 
 none gentler, more loAmbl^ than he ; none bolder and more 
 resolute, when epidemic swept the district, to face the 
 terror of tlie time. Memories like these — the odour 
 of a pure, unselfish, godly life — have gained for Canon 
 AVilliams the affection and respect of Christians of all 
 •creeds AvhereA'er he is known. Long may he be spared to 
 adorn the sacred office Avhich he holds — 
 
 To show ns how Fuitli’s battle should be fought, f 
 
 During the pastorate of Canon Williams and his pre<le- 
 cessor — nearly three-score years and ten — Llanelly has 
 attained a degree of prosperity and importance Avhich has 
 no rHal in Western Wales. We have not touched upon 
 its history in that period as in its previous periods. The task 
 would be too great and should be dealt with, if at all, in a 
 separate volume. Local commerce has made gigantic strides.

 Six liiige manufactories have earned for Uanelly the title of 
 the Tinplate Metropolis. The copperworks and ieadworks — 
 with their three tall chimneys — hold their own, and many a 
 minor establishment, foundries and yards without end, 
 .swell the rushing stream of enterprise. Smoke-cloud by 
 day, furnace-glare and electric-beam by night mark the 
 busy centre where still the church of old St. Elly stands. 
 Nor is there stint of Christian, philanthropic work. Non- 
 conformity flourishes ; but the Church is not backward in 
 tiie race. Jealousies and bickerings there still may bo. 
 
 are not here concerned with them^ and we are thank- 
 ful for it. Eut we hope and believe tliai many now

 CHAPTEE IX. 
 
 THE AXCIEXT CHArELS OF EASE : COXCLESIOX. 
 
 EFOEE bringing our wmrk to a close w e must 
 say a word regarding the ancient chapels-of- 
 ease, the names of wdiicli have already been men- 
 ^ tioned. Each hamlet, as previously stated, had 
 its subsidiary cliapeL Some point to this as eonfirmatioit 
 of a curious and interesting theory — that Llanelly was iir 
 ancient times a much more important centre than it is 
 generally imagined to have been. Seeing They argue) 
 that w ithin a hundred years the population of the parisli lias 
 increased ten fold, liow^ comes it that in three liundred years 
 tbe Church of Ihiglaiid lias only doubled Iier consecrated 
 -buildings y In such a connection tlie grow'th of Noucon- 
 
1 . 
 
 f ormity must, of course, be considered ; but opposed to this 
 may be fairly placed the fact that most of the chapels-of- 
 ease were in ruins before Nonconformity had planted iit 
 the parish a single cause. Examination of the registers^ 
 too, gives conhrmatory proof of local stagnation, if not of 
 nn actual ebbing away, j^i’ior to the great revi^ al of the 
 last hundred years. 
 
 Coming first of all to the hamlet of Westfa we find that 
 its chapel-of-ease was situate at the farm, still called from 
 the circumstance, Caj)el Isaf. This church was dedicated 
 to St. Gwynllyw, Avho fiourished in the fifth century, and' 
 married one Grwladys — like St. Elly, a grand- daughter of 
 .Erychan. He was at first a warrior, but afterwards re- 
 paired to Newport and lived a life of abstinence and devo- 
 tion. To him IS dedicated the church of St. AVoollos in that 
 town. The cliapel of St. Gwynllyw, as we have seen, is 
 first mentioned in 1552, when it is described as possessing^ 
 a “chalyce” and a bell. It is not cigain referred to so far as 
 we know, and the ruins have now practically disappeared. 
 
 St. Dyddgu’s chapel stood in Hengoed hamlet, near the 
 farm called Sylen. It had one cJialice in the time of 
 Edward YI., but now even the ruins are, we believe, in- 
 visible. 
 
 St. Joliii’s is in the hamlet of Glyn and is the only one 
 of the chapelries at present used for service. In 1552 it 
 had a chalice in charge of one Howell Nicholas. In 1735 
 it was returned as “ruinated,”* and no divine service was 
 performed in it. In 1811 Carlisle, in his “ TopograpliicaL 
 1 fictionary,” speaks of St. John’s as having been repaired 
 by subscription and “now used by the Methodists.” We 
 are inclined to doubt this statement, for marriages, 
 as well as interments, were performed there at intervals, 
 and it is scarcely j)ossible that the Methodists and 
 Church people shared between them a consecrated 
 edifice. Hecember 20, 1837, “ the Bishop granted 
 
 his license and authority for the performance of 
 divine service in the chapel of St. John’s, alias Capel 
 Ifan; ” and on the 21st of the same month “the Bishop 
 granted his license and authority for the solemnisation of 
 marriages in tlie same chapel. . . with the consent iit 
 
 writing of Bees Goring Thomas Esqr , the patron of tlie 
 vicarage and parish church of Llanelly, and Ebenezer 
 jMorris, derk, the vicar tliereof.” This was, of course, 
 after the passage of the new Ilegistration Act. In 1830 
 
li. 
 
 tlie cliiircli was .partially restored by Mr. Thomas, but au 
 old inhabitant describes it as a “ small rough place ’* — 
 without a tower, a favourite resort for parties who wished 
 to be married quietly, and out of reacli of the quizzing- 
 glances that would follow them to St. Elly’s. St. John s 
 has of recent years been rebuilt, and is now a striking* 
 object in the Pontyberem landscape. It is a cha 2 )el-of- 
 ease to Holy Trinity, Eelinfoel. 
 
 St. David’s — Berwick hamlet — is situated at Llwynhendy 
 on the right of the road from Llanelly to Bynea. In lood 
 it possessed a chalice, but has long since been a not 
 impicturesque ruin. The remains are even now consider- 
 able arches and windows can still be traced, w ith sockets 
 for the timber wdiich of course has long since disappeared. 
 There is no trace of inscription left, but the author learnt 
 from an intelligent wmman living in an adjacent cottage 
 that a grave stone was to be seen years ago with letters on 
 it, of which the w’ords ^vere neither Welsh nor English. 
 Bhe saw only this one stone. Her account is corroborated 
 by Mr. Meyler Daniel, wlio believes the marks on the stone- 
 w'ere hieroglyphics, rather than w^ords. Mr. Daniel dis- 
 tinctly recollects the Je^y tree adjoining the church, whicli 
 is mentioned, 1804, in Malkin’s “ South Wales.” The old 
 coach road to Swmnsea — a curious zig-zag thoroughfare — 
 ran considerably above the present liighway, and during 
 the alterations, as w^ell as wLen the foundations of the new' 
 church w'ere excavated, quantites of human bones W'ere 
 discovered, w'ith teeth in a perfect state. Some of the re- 
 mains w^ere removed to a museum. Mr. Daniel recollects 
 the then Yicar preaching from a stage at the old Church, 
 whicli w'as known to the people of the place as “ yr hen 
 gapel.” 
 
 Near Five Loads once stood Capel Clement, a building 
 used for occasional meetings. It was called after an 
 cccentiic clergyman named Clement, wdio is mentioned 
 in the later years of the Lev. Jeremiali Davies. 
 Persons of middle age can recollect the roof, pulpit and 
 seats in place ; but all have since been pulled dowm 
 and removed. Clement was evidently a siq)erior man. 
 He was the author of many w'orks in Welsh, and a quajitity 
 of his MSS is still in the possession of Mr. Isaac Phillips, 
 Pembrey. Clement’s w idow' married a Mr Jones, Ponthenry, 
 a minister of the Baptist denomination. Clement, by his 
 own wash, was interred in a vault at the chapel he had 
 
Iniilt, tlioiigii iiis remains liave since been removed to 
 Iteliobotli burying ground. His coffin, prepared long be- 
 fore his deatli, was of limestone from Myiiydd-y-garrog.. 
 C>n it was said to have been cut the following epitaph ; — - 
 
 “ Cwffin Clement careg yw, 
 
 ^lae liwii Til siwr o gadw’i livv ; 
 
 Pan elo y byd yii wenlilam dan, 
 
 Bj'dd liwn yn ^vyn tel eira 1111111 .” 
 
 This may be rendered somewhat as follows : — 
 
 Clement’s coffin made of stone 
 AVill keep tlie colour all its own. 
 
 On that Great Day when all things glow, ^ 
 
 ’Twill be a coffin white as siiow.^^ 
 
 ^ Tlie Cambrian^ March 28, 1824, has the following : On Monday' 
 
 last at Bryn y Groes Fach, his place of residence, near Llanelly, aged 
 76. the Bev. Thomas Clement, minister of the Gospel. His de^th was 
 preceded by a long lingering illness which he bore with becoming for- 
 titude. He distinguished himself by writing* and pnbiishing some 
 years since a work on the subject of natural philosophy ; he has also 
 written an essay on theology and an introduction to the study of, 
 polite iiteratiire, both ^f which wall shortly be published. His re- 
 mains are to be interred in a chapel which he built and endowed for 
 Presbyterian divine worship. His loss will be much lamented by his- 
 widow and friends.”

KOTE ON THE ‘^JITLE TOWER.” 
 
 Mr. E. H. Ltxgex Barker, the well-kllo^ya architect, 
 informs ns that the “little tower” must have contained a 
 “ sanctus-bell ” — which “was common enough in ;pre- 
 Reformation times, and was of course for the purpose of 
 calling the attention of ^ the faithful ’ to the time of tlie 
 elevation of the host,” during mass. Mr. Barker adds 
 that the majority of such erectious are what he calls 
 hell-gablets, and which, according to the sketch he 
 kindly sends, are identical (in shape) with what one 
 sees at St. Paul’s, Llanelly. But the “little tower” 
 was very different, and Mr. Benjamin Jones (Goring 
 Place), whose memory is veiyr clear upon the subject, says 
 it was a square construction of stone, with sloping roof 
 surmounted by a vane or something o : the kind, and resting- 
 on arches as mentioned by us, p. xl. The bell could be 
 seen from within the Church, and was presumably rung 
 from the old rood-loft which once existed (according to Mr. 
 Jones) in the southern transept. The “little tower,” 
 Avliich was not quite so high as the large one, had become 
 very ricketty ; water dropped from it during showers, on 
 the head of the preacher, and there w'as even danger of 
 bell and steeple being precipitated into the Church. 
 Accordingly, this most curious and (as we venture to 
 suggest) unicpie appendage had to go. But local indigna- 
 tion was great — -and justifiable. 
 
 The old Church roof appears to have been practically 
 nnceiled. Both roof and walls were in a wretched 
 state. The Church was supplied with brass candelabra, 
 and the story of their removal reflects no credit on the 
 parties concerned. 
 
JHonitnunts. 
 
 From time immemorial the Parisih Church and yard have receivecT? 
 into their bosom the dust of the dwellers in tlie district. Doubtless 
 each chapel -of -ease had its “ Clod’s -acre ” attached, and there is 
 evidence that Trebeddod (i.e. Trebeddrod) was in ancient times a 
 p)lace of burial.^ Put the i)arish churchyard was above all tlie 
 centixi of interment for at any rate the more iniinediate district, 
 whilst to be laid to rest within the consecrated edifice itself was 
 held a blessed thing* in times which erred not more in superstition 
 than we do in lack of reverence. The oldest monuments carry us back 
 two -hundred years— no farther ; but that is not surprising when we 
 consider to what base uses the churchyard was formerly abandoned, 
 and when we bear in mind the soft and crumbling nature of th(r 
 stone in which, for the most part, the epitaphs were cut. The 
 marble monuments within the Church are as perfect novr as the day 
 they were chiselled, and many ot* a certain hard, dark stone arc* 
 equally distinct ; but the rest have disappeared or are fast disap - 
 liearing beneath the corroding finger of Time. Nevertheless, a 
 gocxl deal might be done to preserve the monuments both within 
 and without the Church. It is painful to note that in the case of 
 many who deserve well of the town — who merit honour at the- 
 hands of posterity — that in the case of even such, it is of ten -im- 
 possible to decypher the inscriptions on their tombs. We fear that 
 The small jealousies which flourish between sect and sect have pre- 
 vented the town as a tovrn from seeing to this matter long ago. It 
 is little to the credit of Llanelly that the x>lace which contains the 
 ashes of thirty generations — • 
 
 “ its mould 
 
 Compacted of the unnumbered dead ” — f 
 should continue in its present deiilorable condition.

LLANELLY FIFTY A"EAR> A(4(). 
 

 Before dealing with the Bej^isters of Llanelly Pansk 
 €hurcb, a word on Parish Eegisters in general may 
 not be out of place. The first known public authority 
 binder which registers of births or baptisms, marriages, 
 deaths or burials were systematically kept in England, 
 was an injunction issued in 1538, directing that in 
 every parish a register- book soould be kept in a coffer, 
 and that every Sunday the clergyman in the presence 
 of one of the churchwardens should enter therein the 
 weddings, christenings and burials of the week, under 
 a penalty of 3s. 4d., to be employed in the repair of 
 the Church. In 1547 and 1559 very similar injunc- 
 tions were issued, and in 1603 followed a still further 
 injunction having special reference to the preservation 
 of the older registers. Various enactments were 
 afterw’ards made, and an Act of 26 Georjje 11. “"to pre- 
 vent clandestine marriages’^ enjoined the keeping: 
 of such entries in a separate volume. Pees were also 
 ordered to be levied. In 52 George III. the law re- 
 lating to registers was still further amplified, and 
 various particulars directed to be appended to the en- 
 tries, forming in fact the forerunner of the present 
 system of registration. Arrangements were also made 
 whereby copies of the registers were to be transmitted 
 to the registrar of each diocese. Certain defects im 
 the system led to the passing of the registration act 
 of 1836 which handed over to civil authorities the keeping 
 of all data of births, marriages and deaths, leaving to 
 the clergy the entries of baptisms and burials. A full 
 account of the history of Begistration may be found 
 in the Eacyclopccdia Briiannica, of which the above is a 
 very brief epitome. 
 
 The Llanelly Registers are preserved in two massive 
 iron coffers in the vestry of ihe Parish Church. The 
 oldest volume is a folio, in massive binding, vith 
 leaves of paicbment. The book bears evidence of the

 tbougbtful care of the Eev. Canon Williams. On the 
 cover, in bis writing, is the following inscription : 
 Baptisms A.D. 1684 to 1812 p.p. 1-25 and 104—262. 
 Marriages A.D. 1687 to 1754 p.p. 26—42. Burials A.D. 
 1697 to 1795 p.p. 47—103. 
 
 Turning over two new fly leaves, we come to one of 
 the original pages, of rough paper, on which is written 
 in scrawling characters the name of a former Vicar of 
 Llanelly, with memoranda of the death of three 
 persons, two of them infants. Turning over the leaf 
 we have the following interesting entries, the first re- 
 lating to a former Vicar : — 
 
 Theophilus Davies obiit 31st May 1787. 
 
 James Pinaud, late Vicr de Lanelly, was buried 3rd 
 July 1761. 
 
 Jeremiah Davies commenced Vicar 1st June 1787. 
 
 Bees Jones cicpit Curate 2 1st Deer 1787. 
 
 Jerpmiah Davies Vicr of Lanelly came to live there 
 the 13th day of October 1789. 
 
 The Rev. Jeremiah Davies, it will be noted, was en- 
 trusted with this ‘^cure of souls ” for over two years 
 before he came to reside among his people. On the 
 next leaf are the following memoranda : — 
 
 Pichard Davies, late Vicr de Lanelly, buried 16tii 
 April 1741. 
 
 James Pinaud, late Vicr de Lanelly, buried 3d July 1761 
 Theophilus Davies, late Vicr de Lanelly, buried 3d 
 June 1787 
 
 The next page is blank; and then we come to the

 1801 — 1812 (inclusive), p.p. 239, 262. It will be 
 evident to all that from about this period, owing^ 
 to the increase of Nonconformist chapels in the 
 district, the Baptisms in the Church register 
 cease to be anything like a complete record of the 
 parish : we therefore discontinue our notes with the 
 advent of the present century. 
 
 HAERXAGES 1687 - 1837 . 
 
 Our Marriage record will contain every entry 
 between these dates, thus furnishing the completest 
 existing record of weddings in the parish. Subse- 
 quent to 1837, Nonconformist chapels were licensed 
 for the solemnisation of marriages: we shall therefore 
 break off at or near this point.

 John Jones of the Parish of St. Peters in Carmar- 
 then and Jane Williams of this Parish of Llanelly were 
 married in this Chutch by Licence this Sixth Day of 
 May in the year 1754 by me James Pinaud vicar This 
 marriage was solemnised between us John Jones, Jana 
 Jones, in the presence of Thos Kitson, Mary Kitson ; 
 Margt Powell. 
 
 The Banns of marriage between William Thomas 
 and Sarah John both of this Parish of Llanelly have 
 been duly published on these several Sundays in this 
 Church April 7th by me James Pinaud vicar. 
 
 William Thom^is and Sarah John, both of this parish, 
 were married in this church by Binns, May the 10th 
 1754 by me James Pinaud vicar This marriage was 
 solemnised between us [ X the mark of Wm Thomas 
 the X mark of Sarah John] in the presence of Thomas 
 Eobert, David Owen. 
 
 The Banns of marriage b'^tween Edward Morgan 
 and Lettuce Vaughan both of this Parish of Llanelly 
 have been duly published on several Sundays in this 
 church, March l7tli 1754 by me James Pinaud vicar. 
 
 Edward Morgan and Lettuce Vaughan both of this 
 Parish, were married in this church by Banns, May 
 10th, 1754 by me James P naud vicar. 
 
 This marriage was solemnised between us [Edward 
 Morgan, x the mark of Lettuce Vaughan] in the 
 presence of John Badger, John Holliday.’’ [It is very 
 curious to notice the mark ” of the individuals 
 throughout the marriage entries, ai^d to trace the 
 frequent nervousness of fingers that have long re- 
 turned to dust.] 
 
 [Here conclude the Matrimonial entries in the old 
 register. From this time they are kept in separate 
 books, according to the Act of 26 Geo. II. for the 
 better preventing of clandestine marriages.” Notices 
 of the publication of banns are also given in the origi- 
 nal; but they do not concern us here. No further 
 reference will be made to vol. and page, as the mar- 
 riage registers have been carefully arranged, bound 
 and specified by the Rev Canon Williams — searching 
 them is therefore a very different matter from wading 
 through the older book. From this date we are nble 
 to give the exact date of each marriage, name 
 officiating priest, parochial residence of the parties and

 tent ourselves with a few extracts.

 N0TK3 ON OND LLANELLY 
 FAMXLXES. 
 
 "We append a few notes on old families mentioned 
 in the register.^ or monuments, or otliervdse comieeted 
 with Llaneliy Parish Church. 
 
 STEPNEY. 
 
 The Stepneys are an old English family, whose 
 members have been distinguished in manv depai't- 
 iiients. On tlie battle field, in di^xlomacy, in litera t ure, 
 the name of Stepney has had honorable representatives.. 
 Their connection with Llanelly dates from the eaily 
 part of the Eighteenth Century, when Sir Thomas 
 Stepney mari-ied the daughter of John Vaughan, of 
 the family of Golden Grove. By this union IJanelly 
 House and the estates connected therewith passed 
 into the hands of the Stepneys, where tliey still remain. 
 A full account of the family and its doings will be 
 Tound in Harrison’s work already referred to. Tire 
 late Sir John Stepney, as Lieut. -Col. Cowell Stepney, 
 of the Coldstream Guards, distinguished himself hi the 
 Ihminsular A^hl^, and the narrative of his experiences 
 in that thrilling CLimpaign has been privately printed. 
 i hie of his sons (a ^oldier like his sire) fell nobly at 
 Inkcrman, and it will be noted tliat the names of 
 various IJanelly streets call to mind the historic 
 combats of the two great wars in which England and 
 ETance were engaged — as enemies and allies. In poli- 
 ces, no less than on the tented field, did Sir John 
 Sbepney prove his prowess. In 18(jS, after a brilliant 
 ^itruggle, he wms returned to Parliament for the ( far- 
 iiiarthen Borough^ in the Liberal interest ; and his 
 youngest son— the present respected representative of 
 the family — has twice been honored with the suffrages 
 of the electors of this important centre. Sir Arthur 
 Stepney’s loyalty to and interest in all that relates to 
 ijlanelly need not be referred to here. Suffice it to 
 i^ay that he nialntaiiis in all particulars the noble 
 traditions of his house. 
 
 A'ALGHAN. 
 
 The Vaughans — a branc-h of the great house of 
 'Golden Grove — vrere connected with this neiglibour- 
 hood at least as early as the beginning of tlie 
 Seventeenth or end of the Sixteenth Century. To them 
 belonged Llanelly House and the contiguous estate. 
 Walter Vaughan was high sheriff of Carmarthensluro 
 in 1520, John Vaughan in 1059, and Walter Vaughan 
 in 1083. The Lloyds, of Maesyfelin— referred to in 
 
104 
 
 tlie A'aiigliau epitaphs — were also an old family, and 
 eonneeted by marriage Avitli the gentlest blood in 
 Wales. The nifaision of IMaesyfelin stood near Lam- 
 j)eter. See Kowlands’ notes on Wehsli Families — 
 shortly to be given to the i^nblic in permanent form. 
 
 FEES. 
 
 The family of Fees, of Kilymaeiillwyd, is of ancient 
 descent— of the royal line of Wales. The mansion is 
 mentioned as far back as the 17th Century, and in all 
 probability dates from a period still more remote. 
 Tlie name Kilymaeiillwyd (according* to “Burke”) 
 means “ the seat of the grey rock,” from a ridge on 
 the sands below the house. In 1775 John Fees married 
 Amy, d. of Sir William ^Mansel, Iscoed, and had 
 issue (1) John, (2) Charles, (3) Fichard. (1) IJeut. 
 Col. John Fees m. into the Yanderhorst family, and 
 iiad issue John Hughes Fees (d. 1871), Avho had 
 amongst other issue John Yanderhorst; Mansel ; 
 and two daughters drowuied Avhilst bathing on tlu^ 
 sands in 1855. (3) Fichard had issue Jane m. 1800 to- 
 
 Alexander Faby. She lies buried at Llanelly Church : 
 lier daughter is ]\lrs. Helen Watiiey. The Aiufe of 
 Charles Courtney (uncle of Mr. ]Maiisel Fees) is also 
 buried in Llanelly Churchyard. She was a member of 
 the family of ShcAven. 31r. Mansel Fees (senior* 
 partner of the firm of Fees and EdAvards, solidtors, 
 Llanelly) is superintendent registrar, and clerk to the 
 Lni(m. 
 
 ALLEY. 
 
 The Allens appear to har^e been people of consider- 
 able local rci^ute about the middle of the last century. 
 l.cAAus in his “ Topographical Dictionary,” speaking of 
 Llanelly, says: “The sum of £5 per annum was 
 ]:>equeathcd by Mr. Allen of this parish to be expended 
 in the purchase of bibles for the poor, Avhich Avas for 
 some years regularly paid and applied to that purpose ; 
 but the i^ayment of it has latterly been discontinued, 
 under the operation of the Mortmain Act.” Tin*, 
 author was deeply interested when lately looking over 
 the bookshelves of a friend, to come upon a venerabhi 
 Welsh i^rayer-book Avith the folloAAung* inscription 
 “The gift of John Allen, Esqr., late of Llanelly, to 
 John Criftiths, July 1754.” This inscription is in the 
 hand- writing of the Fev. James Finaud, vicar of 
 Llanelly at that period. 
 
 :maxsel, shexyex and daaykix. 
 
 These three old famnies were closely connected. 
 41ie Hansels once held extensive posst'ssions in (Mr- 
 mtuthenshire, and Avere the oAvnors of Stradey. Two 
 
105 
 
 of the family were created Baronets in the 17th 
 Century. The local property passed out of the liands 
 of the Hansels in the early years of the 2 ^ 1 ‘^^sent 
 oentury. It is now held by C. W. Hansel Lewis, a 
 g-cntleinan of refined taste, and an enthusiastic and 
 elegant artist. The Dawkins were once an important 
 local family. One of the number, says a correspondent, 
 
 used to live in a pretty little cottage in a field near 
 the New Hoad. He looked a thorough old gentleman — 
 I remember him so well, with his white rufties and 
 hair. ’ ’ The name Dawkin is locally extinct ; but 
 appears in tne Christian names of H. Dawkin Evans 
 and W. Dawkin Evans, Idanelly, who are descendants 
 id the once influential house. The 8hewens have dis- 
 apiieared altogether from the place : the present 
 Tepresentative of the family is E. T. P. Shewen, of An- 
 tigonish, Nova Scotia, to wliom we are indebted for 
 much encouraging assistance and advice. 
 
 CHILD AND BUCKLEY. 
 
 Henry Child, the first of the family resident in this 
 neighbourhood, came from Pembrokeshire some time 
 in the last century, and was connected with the estate 
 of 8ir Thomas Stepney, Bart. When John Wesley 
 Tisited this place he stayed at the residence of Hr. 
 Child, in Thomas Street, near the present London 
 House. Hr. Child was the owner of Felinfocl Hill, 
 Tanygraig, Tremorfabach, Pantygwenith, and other 
 jiroiierty. He built the malthouse neai* the present 
 Brewery and was the founder of that portion of this 
 extensive concern. He leased or rented the tithes of 
 Llanelly parish, and the tithe barn for receiving the

 premises of ISIr. Herbert, in Thomas Street. Hr. 
 Child had a large family. Henry his son (who resided 
 at the Dell) continued the business of maltster and 
 Hied at the age of 60 years. Haria, daughter of Hr. 
 Cliild first mentioned, manledthe Bev James Buckley 
 (of good English stock), who died Aug., 1839. Of 
 this excellent man the Vamhrlan says : — ■“ On the 24th 
 in-st. in Liverpool the Kev James Buckley, of Llanelly, 
 Carmarthenshire, in the 69th year of his age, and the 
 50th of his ministry amongst the Wesleyan Hethodists. 
 He visited Liverpool to attend the Centenary Confer- 
 ence in which he felt the deepest interest and took an 
 active part in its proceedings. He participated in the 
 closing service, the conference sacrament, respecting 
 which he remarked that a grticious and holy influence 
 bad attended that sacred ordinance. When retiring 
 ibr the night he complained of indisposition and soon

 other issue the Kev. Janies Puck ley had James Buck- 
 ley (m. a daughter of Tliomas AVedge, Penyfai ; 
 d. 1883), a townsman of culture, integrity and in- 
 tiuence. He had issue sons and daughters of whom 
 Janies Buckley (Bryncaerau), Henry Child Bucklew 
 (Bradbury Hail) and William James Buckley (Penynti 
 ^ind Castle (torfod) are amongst our most xiopular and. 
 respected citizens. 
 
 NEVJLI^ 
 
 The Xevills belonged orginally, we believe, to 
 Warwickshire. The first of the family to be identified 
 with this place was (as stated in the History} 
 Charles Xevill, then of Swansea. He was a founder 
 of and partner in the Llanelly Copperworks and died 
 1813. His epitaph is now almost illegible. 
 His wife, Alartlia, died in 1821. The son and grandson, 
 of Mr Xevill (Richard J anion Xevill, Llangenneck 
 l^ark, d. 185d, cand Charles AV’^. Xevill, of AVestfa) suc- 
 <*eeded in turn to the management of the great concehi 
 just alluded to and which has been in operation for 
 the long period of 83 years. Air. K. J. Xevill married 
 a daughter of AVilliain Yalden (died 1810) and 
 Ann his wife (d. 1821), who are described as (^f Lav- 
 ington, in the county of Hants. The Yaklens had 
 occupied in thiit neiglibourliood a position of wealth 
 and infiuence, but experiencing a reverse of fortune 
 they removed to Carmarthensliire and resided for a 
 period at Penderi, near Llandilo. The present AVerit 
 foundry was once in their possession : see Chapter W 
 Charles Xevill (d. 1845) was clerk to the Llanelly 
 Harbour Commissioners (see Tide Table for 1832, 
 “printed by David Griffiths, Thomas Street.”) He 
 was half-brother to Air. R. J* Xe\ull, and married a 
 daughter of Tliomas AVard, Soho. Of the other 
 Xcvills referred to in the registers and epitaphs tliere 
 is nothing remarkable to note ; there are several bnef 
 obituaries in tlie early volumes of the Camhnan. Of 
 the issue of Air. R. J. Xevill, Charles A\^. Xevill 
 (AAYstfa), Richard Xevill (Pelinfoel House), and W. 
 H. Xevill (Ferry side) are the present local heads oT the 
 family. A daughter marri<‘d flu; late Rees Goring 
 Thomas flJannon), and another the Rev. Canon.

RODERICK. 
 
 Williiim Roderick was some time cliief steward of 
 the estate of the first Baron Dynevor, and resided at 
 Bryn Havod near Llandilo. iMarried 8th February, 
 1784, Sarali, only daughter of Mr. Jones, of Cilsane, 
 Llangathen, a family now represented by the Jones’ of 
 Yelindre, Llandovery. Mr. Roderick, together 'with a 
 Mr. Bowen, sank the Wern pit, now enclosed by the 
 walls of Mr. Waddle’s foundry, and worked the col- 
 liery for years. A plan of it can be seen at the Copper- 
 Works ofti(*e, bearing the names of ‘‘Roderick and 
 Bowen.” They commenced the Bres pit, which some 
 years afterwards 'was completed by tlie Pembertons. 
 This lirm made a canal from Wern jut to a dock 
 ■^'hicli they constructed. This was the first made at 
 Llanelly, mid is known as the middle or Lead Works 
 Dock. iMr Roderick died at Bradbury Hall, on the 
 10th of May, 1823, aged 85 years.. He was great, 
 grandfather of W. Buckley Roderick, solicitor, of 
 this town. A younger brother of Mr. William Roderick 
 was the Rev. David Roderick, M.A., of Queen’s Col- 
 lege, (Jxfoi’d, an elegant scholar and divine. He was 
 an attaclied friend to the eminent Dr. Samuel Parr, 
 who pronounced him to be ‘‘the finest Latin scholar 
 in the Kingdom.” When second assistant master at 
 Harrow, Mr. Roderick Avas earnestly solicited by the 
 governors to succeed Dr. Parr as first assistant, but 
 feeling that the learned doctor had been unjustly 
 passed over in the matter of head -mastership, he re- 
 fused the appointment, and left Harrow in 1771. 
 From 1784 to 183Q — 46 years — Mr. Roderick Avas A’icar 
 of Cholesbury on the Chilterii Hills, co. Bucks, ancl 
 Avas buried in that parish, 25th August, 1830, aged 86 
 years. His successor is now living, and hence the 
 remarkable fact that there have been but tAvo incum- 
 bents of the Imng for a period of 103 years ! lit 
 Field’s life of Dr. Parr Ave find the folloAAung, “ ^Ir. 
 Roderick is a man of very considerable poAvers of 
 mind, of much acquired knowledge, and of great moral 
 worth . . . Avho contiibuted to rear so many of 
 
 the firmest supporters, and some of the brightest 
 ornaments, of the Church.” In his will Dr. Parr bc- 
 queathc'd a small legacy and a mourning ring to his ‘ ‘ old 
 and trusty friend,” and adds, ‘‘Avhose sound under- 
 standing, Avhose various and deep learning, Avhose 
 fidelity as a friend, and whose uprightness and piety 
 as a (Jhristian have, for the space of fifty years, en- 
 deared his A^ery name to my soul.” Thomas Roderick, 
 son of the above William Roderick, of Bradbury Hall, 
 Llanelly, resided at Dnnygraig, l\;mbrey, Avhere he 
 carved liis name deep on the memory and alfectiom 
 
108 
 
 of the iiihahitant?; of that parish. He sii(‘oeecIed to the 
 Ijlangadock estate, Kidvrelly, on the death of his rela- 
 tive, Mr. Mason, L.Tj.I)., who bequeathed a most 
 valuable collection of books to the Bodleian Library, 
 Dxfoid. He died at Danygraig, August ‘21st, 18T:», 
 aged 81 years. He was the father of the late lamented 
 •< .'aj)t. Itoderick, manager of the London and ProHncial 
 Bank in this toAvn, and grandfather of W. BucLley 
 Itoderick, solicitor, Sidney J. Boderick, surgeon, and 
 Boderick Kenneth Hand, all of Llanelly. One of ]\lr. 
 Boderick’s daughters married Alexander Parkes, 
 of Birmingham, a distinguished metallurgist, the in- 
 wentor of a peculiar substance— a substitute for ivory, 
 Ac., named ‘‘Parksine”; of Parkes’ desilveu’ising* 
 process ; of the cold ijrocess of vulcanising india rubber, 
 and also the original inveinor of phosphorised bronze 
 jind other materials. 
 
 GOBING THOMAS. 
 
 This family, now resident at Plas, Llannon, has 
 lield the tithes of Llanelly for about one hundred years. 
 The late B. Goring Thomas (b. 1824) was 17th in direct 
 descent from King Edward III. (Nicholas’ “Annals.”) 
 He married a daughter of B. J. Nevill, of Llangen- 
 iieeh, and had issue Bhys Goring Thomas, who succeeds 
 liim, and one daughter. The late Mr. Thomas was a 
 fieh<-)lar, a man of great ability, and a staunch suii- 
 •porter of the Church. See chapter YIII. He died in 
 1887, lamented by all who appreciate manliness and 
 honesty of purpose. 
 
 \hriou3 other families are mentioned in the regi- 
 filers of which there is nothing sufficient on record to 
 merit a separate notice in this place.
