Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr is a village and parish in Denbighshire. It is located on the Afon Alwen, at the south western edge of the Clocaenog Forest, 2½ miles east of Cerrigydrudion and nine miles north-west of Corwen, Merionethshire. At the 2001 census the parish had a population of 195.[1]
The old farmhouse at Bodtegir, south east of the village, built in 1655 by William Salesbury, the Royalist governor of Denbigh Castle during the Civil War, is Grade II* listed,[2] as is Saint Michael's Church.[3] Pont Llyn Gigfran, which carries a minor road to Betws Gwerfil Goch over the Afon Alwen, in the south east of the community, is Grade II listed.[4]
The antiquary Owen Jones, who compiled The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales, published between 1801 and 1807, was born in the parish.[5][6] He died in 1814 and was buried in London, but his gravestone was removed to Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr after the churchyard at All-Hallows-the-Less was damaged by bombing in World War II.[7]
