History
KENARTH (CENARTH), is a village, community and ecclesiastical parish on the Afon Teifi in Carmarthenshire, Wales in the union of NEWCASTLE-EMLYN, higher division of the hundred of ELVET, county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES; comprising the market and post-town of Newcastle-Emlyn, from which the church is distant 2 1/2 miles (W.N.W.). This parish is beautifully situated on the river Teivy, over which the turnpike-road from Carmarthen to Cardigan is here carried by a stone bridge. Near the church is the celebrated salmon leap on the river Teivy. The church, dedicated to St. Llawddog, is a neat edifice, about 50 feet long and 25 broad. The Independent and Calvinistic Methodists have each a place of worship, in addition to the meeting-houses for dissenters [in] Newcastle-Emlyn.
