"LLANFIHANGEL-Y-CROYDDIN. REJOICINGS.-The above quiet, secluded, isolated village lies in the lovely and fertile Vale of Ystwyth, about eight miles from Aberystwyth. It is very seldom that anything occurs to disturb the peace, and enliven the inhabitants of the place; but when occasion is given they are not behind the age in availing themselves of the opportunity of enjoying a holiday. The morning of the 24th ult. had been looked forward to by the well-wishers of Mr James, Penlan, as being the day on which he was to be married to Miss Parry, Ty-Lwlyd. Bangor....
Plenty of "cwrw da," &c., was supplied to all that wished it at the Farmers' Arms, by the hospitable host, Mr Fred Hughes, and other well-wishers of Mr and Mrs James. The day will be long remembered by both old and young. " CN 2 June 1871
