Llanilterne, Glamorgan
Historical Description
Llanilterne, a separate civil parish, but a chapelry in the ecclesiastical parish of St Fagan's, in the diocese of Llandaff, 6 miles NW of Cardiff, on the road thence to Llan-trisant. Post town, Cardiff. Acreage, 1075; population, 97. The chape], dedicated to St Illtyd, capable of holding forty persons only, has been rebuilt. A large rough quoin stone, nearly 3 feet in length in the old building, was replaced in the same position in the new. It bears a rudely chiselled Latin inscription, of which " Hie jacet" are the only clearly legible words. It is said to be a memorial of the wife of King Arthur. At Llanvairvawr, about half a mile distant, is a barn which was the chapel of a connected religious house now demolished, which was founded by St Illtyd about the year 508, as " a place for education in learning as well as religion."
