History
BETTWS-BLEDRWS, a parish in the upper division of the hundred of MOYTHEN, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES 3¼, miles (N.E.) from Lampeter, on the road to Trêgaron. At a short distance from the road is Dery Ormond, the seat of John Jones, Esq., an elegant modern mansion, erected in 1827, and beautifully situated under the shelter of a lofty hill covered with luxuriant plantations. The church, dedicated to St. Bleddrws, is a very neat well-built edifice, altered and repaired in 1831, with a tower surmounted by a well-proportioned spire eased with slate. There are places of worship for Baptists and Calvinistic Methodists.
