Editing Llangeitho (section)

==Nonconformism==
The village is linked with [[Daniel Rowland (preacher)|Daniel Rowland]], born here in 1713, and the [[Welsh Methodist revival]] in the 18th century. Rowland served as [[curate]] at Llangeitho and [[Nantcwnlle]]. The village chapel, built in 1760, became famous throughout Wales as a [[Calvinistic Methodists|Calvinistic Methodist]] centre. Thousands visited it to hear the preaching. Rowland was buried in the village and there remains a memorial column to him. Larger replacement chapels were built in 1764 and 1814.

Llangeitho saw several further periods of religious revival in that century, the strongest in 1762, when rejoicing, dancing and jumping for joy earned the Welsh Methodists the nickname "Jumpers". [[William Williams Pantycelyn]] wrote in defence of the celebrations.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Evans |first=Eifion |date=1985 |title=Daniel Rowland |publisher=Banner of Truth |isbn=9780851514468}}</ref>
