Llanymynech
Llanymynech is a town straddling the border between Montgomeryshire/Powys, Wales, and also Shropshire, England, regarding 9 miles (14 km) north of the Welsh community of Welshpool. The name is Welsh for "Church of the Monks". The village is on the banks of the river Vyrnwy, and the Montgomery Canal goes through it. The boundary runs for one of the most part along the frontages of the buildings on the eastern (English) side of the village's main road, with the eastern fifty percent of the village in England and the western fifty percent in Wales. The Church of England parish church of St Agatha exists simply in England, although the entire town depends on the very same ecclesiastical church. The boundary also passed throughout the now closed Lion bar, which had 2 bars in Shropshire and one in Montgomeryshire.
