BÔDWROG (BÔD-TWROG), a parish, in the hundred of Llyvon, union and county of Anglesey, North Wales, 3 miles (W. by N.) from Llangevni; containing 358 inhabitants.

The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to that of Llandrygarn. The tithes belong to the Principal and Fellows of Jesus’ College, Oxford, to whom they were appropriated by Dr. Wynne, Chancellor of Llandaf, in 1648, subject to the payment of £1. 5. per annum to the poor. The college receives a tithe rent-charge of £168. 4., and the parish-clerk one of £5.

The church, dedicated to St. Twrog, is a small edifice, situated on an eminence at a considerable distance from any habitation, except two respectable farmhouses. The minister of Bôdwrog and Llandrygarn resides in the former parish, a neat parsonage-house having been built here by Jesus’ College, in 1838.

There are places of worship for Baptists and Independents, with a Sunday school held in each. In addition to the above rent-charge of £1. 5., the poor receive 12s. per annum, being a portion of the interest of a bequest of £40 by John Lloyd, which had been vested by a mortgage on the tolls of the Shrewsbury and Holyhead road.
