Editing Llanwrtyd (section)

==Origin of the name==
The Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) survey suggests that the name Llanwrtyd is a combination of church ("llan") and a name "Gwrtud" or "Gwrtyd", ("Gwrtyd's Church"). The present dedication to [[Saint David]], in whose diocese the church stands, is likely later. The earliest documented reference, to "Llanworted", dates from 1543.<ref name=cpat>{{cite web|url=http://www.cpat.org.uk/ycom/breck/llanwrtyd.pdf|title=Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust|access-date=12 February 2024}}</ref> The traditional derivation of the name is given in the Reverend Thomas Morgan's ''Handbook of the Origin of Pace-names in Wales and Monmouthshire''. This suggests the name comes from "Llanddewi wrth y rhyd" (David's church by the [[ford (crossing)|ford]]).<ref>{{cite web |first=Rev Thomas |last=Morgan |title=Handbook of the Origin of Pace-names in Wales and Monmouthshire |url=http://llennatur.com/files/u1/on__Place-names_ThosMorgan_Pr_HWSouthey_1887.pdf |date=1887 |access-date=12 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304203847/http://llennatur.com/files/u1/on__Place-names_ThosMorgan_Pr_HWSouthey_1887.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Again, tradition says that the church was founded by St David in the 6th century and the CPAT survey notes the curved boundary around the churchyard and its siting by a river, both features which indicate that the church was established before the [[Norman Conquest]]. The church was a chapel attached to [[Llangammarch]].<ref name=cpat/>
