It is a relatively small parish with about 350 on the electors\u2019 list.  Llanwnnen is the main village within the parish and consists of a Community Primary School, the ancient Church of St. Lucia and Capel y Groes Unitarian Chapel.  Joseph Jenkins, the \u201cSwagman\u201d who spent much of his life in the outback in Australia has been buried in the cemetery at this chapel.  There is a historic Church in Maestir also that is within the parish.  The old school at Maestir was diassembled and has been reconstructed at the National Museum of Wales at St Fagans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the centre of the village there are the remains of an old Motte and Bailey Castle from the Middle Ages that looks down over the river Grannell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Youth Club is held on a weekly basis in the village hall, that is next to the entrance to the Church.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a number of small and large businesses that employ many of the citizens.  Nearly all records that refer to Llanwnnen quote the everyday speech couplet that describes the area: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/llanwnnencc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pentref-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Llanwnnen, lle llawn annwyd!   (Llanwnnen, a place that is full of common cold!)<br>\nLle llwm am dan, lle llawn am fwyd. (A poor place for a fire, but plentiful with food)<br>\nThe couplet explains the fact that there was no peat in the area for the fire, but that there was plenty of fertile land to grow crops. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current parish was formed by merging the former parishes of Llanwnnen and Llanbedr Wledig back in the 70\u2019s of the last century.
