The manor of Lligwy was once a separate parish; belonged formerly to the Lloyds; was purchased by the Irbys; and belongs now to Lord Boston. The scenery is very fine; and there are numerous cyttiau, and other Celtic antiquities.
The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Bangor. Value, £75. Patron, Lord Boston. The church was restored in 1866. The church-yard contains the remains of some of the numerous persons who were drowned at the shipwreck of “the Royal Charter” in Oct. 1859. The walls of the old church of Lligwy still exist, and stand over a large crypt. There are an apprenticing charity of £70 a year, and a school exhibition of £10 or £20. W. Jones, the mechanician, father of Sir W. Jones, and Earl Morris, the antiquary, author of “Celtic Remains,” were natives.
