TREFDRAETH. This is a rectory, with the chapelry of Llangwyfen, which has been previously described, attached. The place signifies the "town on the marsh," an appellation derived from its proximity to the Malltraeth, once a sandy æstuary, now a tract of rich marsh land. The church, which has been lately repaired in a judicious manner, but without any restoration of importance being attempted, and is in good condition, consists of a main aisle, and a chapel projecting at right angles from it on the south side, near the east end. The internal dimensions of the nave or principal aisle are fifty-nine feet in length by fifteen feet, at the west, and twelve feet six inches at the east end; those of the chapel are fourteen feet from east to west, by seventeen feet from north to south. There is a single bell-gable newly constructed over the west end of the nave; the church is entered by a porch on the south side, and by a plain doorway on the north. No stoup nor piscina remain in the church; but the font, which is not later than the twelfth century, (see plate in No. I.,) stands at the western end. A modern window occurs in the north wall, and a square-headed one, of two lights, with a label ending in elongated human heads, in the south wall; there is a single loop in the west gable, and in the east gable a window of three lights, cinquefoiled, with flowing tracery in the head, of decorated character; and a small one is in the wall south of the altar. The prevailing style of the building is late decorated or early perpendicular. The chapel is entered by a low doorway in its west wall; has a square-headed window of two cinquefoiled lights on the ARCH. CAMB. VOL. I.]

southern, and one of a single light on the eastern, side.

It

is separated from the nave by a wall, through which a low elliptical archway has been made; and within the chapel a pointed arch occurs reaching up to and supporting the roof. On the eastern gable of the church is the base of a cross, and the floor of the altar contains some fragments of incised slabs, partly covered by pews, which appear to be of the thirteenth century. They represent probably the bases of crosses, with interlacing ornaments; and, on one, the letters HEN, forming part of the inscription, are visible. The walls are about three feet thick, and twelve feet high, and the roof ridge is twenty feet above the ground. From its good condition this ranks as one of the better churches of the island. (Orientation E. Invocation St. Beuno. + VIIth Cent. Fest. Apr. 21.)

CWMMWD OF MENAI. This cwmmwd contains the following parochial divisions:

Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog (rect.) with Llanffinan (chap.); Rhoscolyn (rect.) with Llanfihangel yn Nhywyn (chap.) and Llanfair yn Neubwll (chap.); Llangefni (rect.) with Tregaian (chap.); Llangeinwen (rect.) with Llangaffo (chap.); Newborough, Llanbedr, or Llananno, (rect.); Llanddwyn, (rect.); Llanidan (rect.) with Llanddeiniol Fab (chap.), Llanedwen (chap.), and Llanfair yn y Cwmmwd (chap.); and Rhodwydd Geidio (chapel to Llantrisaint.)

LLANFIHANGEL YSGEIFIOG. This parish, which is situated at nearly the north-eastern extremity of the Cwmmwd, contains a church, which, though greatly dilapidated, has been one of the most interesting in the island. The building consists of a central aisle sixty-eight feet in length by sixteen feet in breadth, internally; of a north chapel twelve feet eight inches from east to west, by seventeen feet from north to south; and of a south chapel forty feet from east to west by fifteen feet from north to south. The nave, or central aisle, is (A.D. 1845) approached by a Tudor-headed doorway under a porch in the south side, corresponding to a perpendicular door, of singularly elegant though mutilated details, on the northern side. Over the west end is a single bell-gable, stepped and crossed, of good design; between the two doorways in the nave stands the font, of plain octagonal form, and of the same date as the edifice. All the light received by the nave is from two small modern windows on the nor
