Bayden, a chapelry, in the parish of Llangonoyd, union of Bridgend and Cowbridge, hundred of Newcastle, county of Glamorgan, South Wales, 4 ½ miles (N.W. by N.) from Bridgend; containing 337 inhabitants. This chapelry, also called Lower Llangonoyd, contains some well-wooded enclosures on the southern declivity of an extensive common. The chapel, which is supposed to have been a private one, is now in ruins. There is a small chartable bequest for such poor persons as do not receive parochial relief. This place separately maintains its own poor. See Llangonoyd.
