Bodewryd is a village in Anglesey, Wales.


Bôdewryd (Bôd-Ewryd) - From 'A Topographical Dictionary of Wales' (1849)
BÔDEWRYD (BÔD-EWRYD), a parish, in the hundred of Twrcelyn, union and county of Anglesey, North Wales, 3 miles (W. S. W.) from Amlwch; containing 32 inhabitants. This small parish was formerly comprehended in that of Llaneilian, from which it was detached, and formed into a parish of itself, within the last fifty years. It consists only of two farm-houses (one of them anciently the mansion of the Wynne family) with their respective farms, and has no parochial officers, either ecclesiastical or civil: in levying the county rate it is placed with the parish of Gwredog, as a fourth division to the three contained in the parish of Amlwch. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed, in 1722, with one hundred and twenty-one acres of land, and a rent-charge of £2, by Dr. Wynne, Chancellor of Hereford, and subsequently with £800 royal bounty; net income, £100; patron and impropriator, Lord Stanley of Alderley. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a small ancient edifice, containing some monuments to the Wynnes, and a brass recording the liberality of Dr. Wynne, above noticed, who lies entombed here. A parochial school is supported at the expense of Lady Stanley, for the children of this and the adjoining parishes.
