Llanfyllin
Llanfyllin is a tiny market town, area and also electoral ward in a sparsely-populated area in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales. Llanfyllin's population in 2011 was 1,532, of whom 34.1% can speak Welsh. Llanfyllin indicates church or church (llan) of St Myllin ('m' often mutates to 'f' in Welsh). The community lies in the valley of the River Cain near the Berwyn Mountains in Montgomeryshire, 14 miles (23 km) southwest of Oswestry and 15 miles (24 km) from Montgomery. The River Cain is joined by the tiny River Abel in Llanfyllin (presumably named after Cain as well as Abel in the Bible), as well as meanders via the valley, moving into the River Vyrnwy at Llansantffraid. The town lies in between Shrewsbury and Bala, for a very long time the essential market towns in this area of Wales as well as the Welsh borders. At nearby Bodyddon there is evidence of a very early British settlement. Llanfyllin might be the "Mediolanum among the Ordovices" defined in Ptolemy's Geography (c.? ad 150), although others argue for Meifod or Caersws. The community is understood for its holy well, Fynnon Coed y Llan. The well is dedicated to Saint Myllin, who is understood to have actually baptised individuals here in the sixth century. The parish church is likewise committed to Saint Myllin. There is a practice that Saint Myllin is the Irish bishop, Saint Mo Ling (likewise named Moling Luachra) (614-- 697). Nonetheless, this doubts. There is no record of Mo Ling travelling to Wales, as well as there is a practice that Myllin is buried under the church of Llanfyllin church whereas Mo Ling is believed to have actually been hidden at his monastery in Ireland.
