Excerpt from St. AsaphWhen Cyndeyrn (Kentigernus), Bishop of the Strath Clyde Britons, whose diocese extended from the Clyde to the Mersey and whose see was at Penrhyn Rhionydd (Glasgow), surnamed Mungo (i.e., Mwyngu, the amiable), was driven, about the middle of the sixth century, an exile from his northern diocese, he betook himself at once to Mynyw (Menevia), the then famous see of St. David. Speeding thence, with the good archbishop's blessing, he appears to have followed as far as Nidum (Neath), the course of the Via Julia, by the side of which the beautifully-situated church of Llan-gyndeyrne still hands down the memorial of his presence. From Nidum he turned northwards, and took the line of the British track-way of "Sarn Sws, " until after skirting the southern slopes of the "Berwyn" range, he crossed the hills of Yale into the Vale of the Clwyd, where a beautiful spot, at the confluence (aber) of the Clwyd and Elwy, presented an ideal site for a religious settlement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
