'''Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn''' is an ancient parish in the [[Ilar Hundred]] of [[Cardiganshire]], 7 miles southeast of [[Aberystwyth]], on the road to Rhayader. The parish comprises the chapelry of Eglwys Newydd,<ref>[http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CGN/EglwysNewydd/Lewis1833.html GENUKI: Eglwys Newydd Lewis]</ref> or Llanfihangel y Creuddyn Uchaf, and the township of Llanfihangel y Creuddyn Isaf. It has also been known as Lower Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, Lower Llanfihangel y Croyddin and Lower Llanfihangel y Croyddyn.<ref>[http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit_page.jsp?u_id=10172524&c_id=10001043 A vision of Llanfihangel y Creuddyn Isaf AP/CP]</ref><br />
<br />
This parish is situated on the rivers [[River Ystwyth|Ystwyth]], [[River Mynach|Mynach]] and [[River Rheidol|Rheidol]] and is intersected by many other brooks.<ref name="From Samuel Lewis's A Topographical Dictionary of Wales 1833">[http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CGN/Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn/Lewis1833.html GENUKI: Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn Lewis]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The lands of the parish were part of the Cistercian Abbey of Strata Florida originally established in 1164. After the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII (1536-1540) during the Reformation, their holdings were divided and awarded to new tenants at the direction of Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex. Some of the Strata Florida lands were granted to the Herbert family, who came to Cardiganshire during the reign of Elizabeth I. One, Sir Richard Herbert of Pengelly and [[Cwmystwyth]] was High Sheriff of Cardiganshire from 22 November 1542.<br />
<br />
A rent roll dated 1540 for the granges of Mefenydd, Cwmystwyth and Hafodwen (‘newe leases’) reveals that W[illia]m Herbert and Morgan Herbert were tenants of several properties formerly belonging to the Abbey of Strata Florida, including significantly:<br />
<br />
:Havodychdryd Doleygors Pantycrave Bwlch Gwalter parcell of Ty Loge [...] 4 parte of Pwll Piran parte of Pregnant and Blaenmerin and Alltgron Havodychdryd or [[Hafod Uchtryd]] is the name of the house and demesne and the other properties.<ref>[http://archifdy-ceredigion.org.uk/dogfennau/1301-Hafod-fonds.pdf The Hafod Collection]</ref><br />
<br />
Llanfihangel is one of the few villages in Britain whose menfolk suffered no deaths during [[First World War]]. Collectively, they are known as the [[Thankful Villages]]. It is the only such village in Cardiganshire.<br />
<br />
==The parish today==<br />
The parish stands on the [[Cistercian Way]] long distance footpath. The area is now sparsely populated with only a few towns and villages such as [[Ysbyty Ystwyth]], [[Cwmystwyth]], [[Pont-rhyd-y-groes]], [[Llanilar]] and [[Llanfair, Cardiganshire|Llanfair]]. In the past area was relatively densely populated due to its mineral wealth. Silver, lead and zinc have been mined in the valley since Roman times, an activity that reached its peak in the 18th century. The largest of the very many mines was Cwmystwyth Mines. <br />
<br />
Within the boundaries of the parish lies the village of Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn, the Hafod Estate and [[Devil's Bridge, Cardiganshire|Devil's Bridge]]. <br />
