Moylgrove - From 'A Topographical Dictionary of Wales' (1849)
MOYLGROVE, a parish, in the union of Cardigan, hundred of Kemmes, county of Pembroke, South Wales, 5 miles (W. by S.) from Cardigan; containing 453 inhabitants. This parish, which by the Welsh is called "Trê-Wyddel," is situated on the coast, in the north-eastern part of the county, and comprises a moderate extent of arable and pasture land, all inclosed and cultivated. The scenery is not characterised by any peculiar features, and the views over the adjacent country are destitute of interest. In general the shore is abrupt and rugged, with a good depth of water. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the discharged vicarage of Bayvill, and endowed with £600 royal bounty. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, stands about a quarter of a mile from the village, on the left bank of a stream which falls into the sea at no great distance: it is not remarkable for any architectural details. There is a place of worship for Independents, in which a Sunday school is also held. Near the sea, on Treriffith farm, is a well termed in Welsh "Fynnon Alem," and in English "Alem's Well;" the water is a strong chalybeate, and is considered efficacious in several diseases.
