Editing Capel Curig (section)

==Name==
Capel Curig takes its name from the little St Julitta's Church in the ancient graveyard by the river bridge on the Llanberis road. This, confusingly, has been known for over 100 years as St Julitta's Church, and is currently being restored by the "Friends of Saint Julitta".  Tradition claims this chapel to be the 6th-century foundation of [[Curig|St Curig]], a Celtic bishop.  Centuries later, probably when the present ancient church was built, the name appears to have been Latinised as {{lang|la|Cyricus}}, which is the name of a 4th-century child [[martyr]] whose mother was Julitta. They are usually named together as ''[[Saints Quiricus and Julietta]]''.

The names ''Capel Kiryg'' and ''Capel Kerig'' were recorded in 1536 and 1578 respectively.<ref>''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', A. D. Mills, Oxford University Press, 1991</ref>
