This parish is situated on the banks of the river Irvon, which, in its course from west to east, divides the parish into two nearly equal portions. The church, dedicated to St. Avan, and situated on the north side of the high road, is a small edifice, covered with slate, which is procured from the mountains. There is a place of worship for Independents, with a Sunday school held in it.
