Llanfyllin
Llanfyllin is a small market community, neighborhood as well as electoral ward in a sparsely-populated location in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales. Llanfyllin's population in 2011 was 1,532, of whom 34.1% could speak Welsh. Llanfyllin suggests church or parish (llan) of St Myllin ('m' frequently alters to 'f' in Welsh). The town lies in the valley of the River Cain near the Berwyn Mountains in Montgomeryshire, 14 miles (23 kilometres) southwest of Oswestry as well as 15 miles (24 kilometres) from Montgomery. The River Cain is joined by the tiny River Abel in Llanfyllin (probably called after Cain as well as Abel in the Bible), and twists through the valley, moving into the River Vyrnwy at Llansantffraid. The community exists in between Shrewsbury and Bala, for a very long time the essential market towns in this area of Wales and the Welsh borders. At close-by Bodyddon there is evidence of an early British settlement. Llanfyllin might be the "Mediolanum amongst the Ordovices" defined in Ptolemy's Location (c.? advertisement 150), although others argue for Meifod or Caersws. The town is known for its holy well, Fynnon Coed y Llan. The well is committed to Saint Myllin, that is deemed to have baptised individuals below in the sixth century. The parish church is likewise dedicated to Saint Myllin. There is a practice that Saint Myllin is the Irish bishop, Saint Mo Ling (likewise named Moling Luachra) (614-- 697). Nevertheless, this is uncertain. There is no record of Mo Ling travelling to Wales, and also there is a practice that Myllin is hidden under the altar of Llanfyllin church whereas Mo Ling is thought to have actually been hidden at his abbey in Ireland.
