LLANYBLODWELL is a parish on the western verge of Shropshire, adjoining
the county of Denbigh, comprising the townships of Abertannat, Blodwell,
Bryn, and Lynclys, which together, at the census of 1841, contained a
population of 961 souls and 200 houses. The parish is bounded on the
east by Offa’s-dyke, noticed at the preceding page.
ABERTANNAT,
a village and township one mile S.E. from Blodwell, contains 1073A. 3R.
17P. of land, 19 houses, and 102 inhabitants. Rateable value, £1,135.
12s 5d. The land has mostly a strong soil, upon the limestone,
considered good for grazing purposes. The proprietors are Lord Godolphin
and John Hamor, Esq. Earl Powis is lord of the manor. The tithes have
been commuted for £90. 2s. 2d., of which £39. 7s. has been apportioned to
the Rev. R. Williams; £13. 9s. 10d. to the Rev. R. M. H. Hughes; and £37.
5s. 4d. to the Rev. John Parker. ABERTANNAT HALL is the pleasantly
situated mansion of John Edwards, Esq. The scenery in the vicinity is
most beautiful and picturesque. Upon the towering heights of some of the
hills are seen prospects of unbounded extent. The lands abound with
game, and the rippling stream of the Tanat meanders at the foot of the
hills, well stocked with trout and other fish.
