HÊNLLAN (HÊN-LLAN), a '''parish''' in the upper division of the hundred of TROEDYRAUR, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 3½ | HÊNLLAN (HÊN-LLAN), a '''parish''' in the upper division of the hundred of TROEDYRAUR, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 3½ miles (E.) from Newcastle-Emlyn. This parish is beautifully situated on the river Teivy, over which here is an ancient bridge of three arches, with projecting angular piers, from which the turnpike road from Newcastle-Emlyn to Carmarthen, on which it is situated, is continued through the village. The church is a very small edifice, not characterized by any remarkable architectural feature, but interesting from its secluded and picturesque situation. There are two Sunday schools, one of them in connexion with the Established Church, and the other belonging to the '''Calvinistic Methodists''', who have a place of worship in the parish.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=47833#s9 A Topographical Dictionary of Wales]'' (1849), pp. 411-418.
