Llanwrin
Llanwrin is a small village in the valley of the Afon Dyfi in Powys, Wales, about two miles north-east of Machynlleth. Until 1987 Llanwrin was a community; today it is in the community of Glantwymyn.
History and background
Historically, it was in the county of Montgomeryshire.The village is named after its church, dedicated to St. Gwrin, which dates from late medieval times and was last restored in 1864. The nearby historically significant house of Mathafarn dates back to at least 1485.
Once a thriving community with its own blacksmith, pub and village shop – all long since closed – in recent years the village has been a collection of houses stretched along the B4404 road.
