'''Lampeter''' (Welsh: '''Llanbedr Pont Steffan''' or, more informally, '''Llambed''') is a town, [[Communities in Wales|community]] and ecclesiastical parish in [[Ceredigion, Wales Genealogy|Ceredigion]], [[Wales Genealogy|Wales]]. It lies at the confluence of the Afon Teifi and the Afon Dulas.  


Before 1974 the town was in the historic county of [[Cardiganshire Genealogy|Cardiganshire]] and, between 1974 and 1996 in the [[County of Dyfed]]. In 1996 it became part of the modern [[Ceredigion, Wales Genealogy|Ceredigion]].

LAMPETER (LLAN-BEDR) PONT-STEPHEN, a borough, market-town, and '''parish''', partly in the upper division of the hundred of TROEDYRAUR, but chiefly in that of the hundred of MOYTHEN, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 27 Miles (E) from Cardigan, and 203 (W. by N.) from London, containing the hamlet of Trêvycoed. The name signifies the church of St. Peter, the distinguishing appellation having been added from the erection of a bridge over the river Teivy, at the distance of about half a mile, as has been vaguely conjectured, by King Stephen, in one of his inroads into Wales. The church, dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle, has been entirely rebuilt; it is a very handsome edifice, consisting of a nave and chancel, and when the tower shall be completed it will add greatly to the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The churchyard commands a fine view of the Vale of Teivy. There are places of worship for '''Independents''', '''Wesleyans''', and '''Calvinistic Methodists'''; and four Sunday schools.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=47840#s4 A Topographical Dictionary of Wales]'' (1849), pp. 459-473.
