"CASTLE-CAER-EINION, a parish partly within the liberties of the borough of WELSHPOOL, partly in the upper division of the hundred of CAWRSE, and partly in the hundred of MATHRAVAL, county of MONTGOMERY, NORTH WALES, 3 1/2 miles (W. S. W.) from Welsh-pool, containing 783 inhabitants. This place is stated to derive its name from Einion Yrth, tenth son of Cunedda Wledig, King of Cambria, to whom, in the sixth century, it was given by that sovereign, on dividing the country among his twelve sons. ... The village is situated on the road from Berriew to Llanvair, and that from Welshpool to Llanvair runs through the parish. ... That portion of the parish which is within the liberties of the borough of Welshpool consists of the townships of Gaer, Sylvaen, Trev Helyg, and Trevnant, and part of that of Castle-Caer-Einion. ... The church, dedicated to St. Garmon, is a neat unadorned edifice of stone, rebuilt in 1810. There is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. A free school is endowed with property arising from a gift of £400 by Edward Thomas, Esq., for the instruction of children whose parents do not rent property of the value of £30 per annum : there are about forty children now in the school. ..."
