TREFONEN,
a township and village with a scattered population, four miles S.W. from Oswestry, in 1841 contained 146 houses and 632 souls; there are 953a. 3r. 9p. of land, with a strong soil lying upon the limestone; the land rises into bold swelling hills. The tithes are commuted for £82. 15s. 8d., of which £74. 5s. 8d. are apportioned to the bishop and dean of St. Asaph, £5. 13s. 4d. to the vicar of Llansilin, and £2. 16s. 8d. to the vicar of Oswestry. The Earl of Powis is lord of the manor, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., is the principal land owner. The church, a plain structure of stone, was built in 1821, and enlarged in the year 1828, when 95 additional sittings were obtained. The service is performed alternately in the Welsh and English languages. The living is a perpetual curacy returned at £85 in the patronage of Earl Powis and incumbency of the Rev. David Lloyd, M.A. In the last thirty years 836 burials have been registered here. The parochial school has an attendance of 65 children. It is supported by subscriptions, charity sermons, and a small charge from each scholar attending the school. The Independents have a neat chapel here built in 1832. The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists have also a chapel built of stone called “Carmel.” There are Sunday schools connected with the several places of worship, which are numerously attended.
