Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The ancient parish of Llanrwst was of great extent. It comprised the township of Gwydir, in Caernarfonshire; and a number of townships in Denbighshire, with an area of 15,298 acres. These townships were Cilcennis, Tre'r Dre Isaf, Tre'r Dre Uchaf, Garthgyfannedd, Mathebrwd, Tybrith Isaf, Tybrith Uchaf, and Garth Garmon. In 1866, a portion of the township of Gwydir was transferred by an Order in Council to the parish of Capel Curig, in Caernarfonshire. Tybrith Ucha and Garth Garmon had for many years operated, unofficially, as the parish of Capel Garmon; and this was made official in 1927. The current parish comprises Llanrwst and Llanddoget.
St Mary's, the chapel of ease for the parish was consecrated in 1842 and deconsecrated in 1968 after it had been in disuse for some 12 years.
