History
BRECHVA (BRECHFA) is a village, community and ecclesiastical parish in Carmarthenshire, Wales in the union of LLANDILO-FAWR, higher division of the hundred of CATHINOG 11 miles (N.E.) from Carmarthen. This parish is pleasantly situated on the river Cothy, a stream abounding with excellent trout, and in a beautifully romantic valley, surrounded on all sides by lofty hills of varied aspect, among which is plenty of game. The church, dedicated to St Teilo, and situated at the extremity of the parish, upon the little river Pib, is a small plain edifice, without either tower or spire. There is a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists.www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx]
