LLANYCHAËRON (LLAN - UWCH- AËRON), a '''parish''' in the upper division of the hundred of MOYTHEN, County of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 11 miles (N. W.) from Lampeter. The name of this place, signifying " the church above the Aëron," is derived from its situation upon that river, which falls into Cardigan bay, a few miles west-north-westward, at Aberaëron. Its surface is richly wooded, forming an agreeable contrast to the rugged and barren hills of the surrounding district; and the scenery is finely diversified, combining a pleasing variety of fertility and luxuriance. The church, dedicated to Non, one of the most distinguished female saints of Wales, and mother of St. David, is a neat edifice, consisting of a nave and chancel, with a tower, and is beautifully situated in a very picturesque spot.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=47863#s13 A Topographical Dictionary of Wales]'' (1849), pp. 157-165.
