"LLANELLTYD, a parish in the hundred of Ardudwy, county Merioneth, 1 mile N.W. of Dolgelly, its post town, and 8 from Barmouth. It is situated under Cadr Idris, at the confluence of the rivers Maw and Wnion, surrounded by scenery the most beautiful of any to be found in Wales. In this spot are the remains of Cymmer Abbey', an establishment of the Cistercian order, founded here near the close of the 12th century by the two sons of Conan, Meredydd, and Gruffydd. At the dissolution of the monasteries the income was valued at £58 158. 4d. The ruins indicate that the building was not very extensive. Copper is obtained, and the neighbourhood furnishes a supply of peat. Some of the hills present a barren appearance. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Bangor, value £62. The church is dedicated to St. Illtyd. There is a Calvinistic Methodist chapel." [From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) - Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003]
