Llanfyllin is a small market town, neighborhood and selecting ward in a sparsely-populated area in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales. Llanfyllin’s population in 2011 was 1,532, of whom 34.1% could speak Welsh. Llanfyllin indicates church or church (llan) of St Myllin (‘m’ often mutates to ‘f’ in Welsh). The community depends on the valley of the River Cain near the Berwyn Mountains in Montgomeryshire, 14 miles (23 kilometres) southwest of Oswestry and 15 miles (24 km) from Montgomery. The River Cain is signed up with by the tiny River Abel in Llanfyllin (probably called after Cain and Abel in the Bible), and also meanders via the valley, streaming into the River Vyrnwy at Llansantffraid. The community exists in between Shrewsbury as well as Bala, for a long period of time the essential market communities in this area of Wales and also the Welsh borders. At nearby Bodyddon there is evidence of an early British settlement. Llanfyllin may be the “Mediolanum among the Ordovices” explained in Ptolemy’s Location (c.? advertisement 150), although others argue for Meifod or Caersws. The community is known for its divine well, Fynnon Coed y Llan. The well is committed to Saint Myllin, who is reputed to have baptised individuals here in the 6th century. The parish church is likewise devoted to Saint Myllin. There is a tradition that Saint Myllin is the Irish diocesan, Saint Mo Ling (likewise called Moling Luachra) (614– 697). Nevertheless, this is uncertain. There is no record of Mo Ling taking a trip to Wales, as well as there is a custom that Myllin is hidden under the altar of Llanfyllin church whereas Mo Ling is thought to have been hidden at his monastery in Ireland.
