In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Glyndyfrdwy like this:
GLYNDWRDY, or Glyndyfrdwg, a chapelry in Corwen parish, Merioneth; on the river Dee and the Ruabon and Bala railway, 3¾ miles E of Corwen. It has a post office under Llangollen and a r. station. It became a separate charge in 1862; and was previously annexed to the vicarage of Corwen. The statistics of it are returned with the parish. ...
The property belonged to Owen Glendower; takes from that fact its name, which signifies "Glendower's country;" and passed to the Salusburys and the Vaughans. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of St. Asaph. Value, not reported. Patron, the Bishop of St. Asaph.
