All the property, except one farm, belongs to the Aubreys. The manor was given by Fitz-Hamon to Hywel ab Jestyn; and it had a castle of the latter, which was destroyed in 1151. ...
Llantrithyd Place belonged to successively the Mansels, the Bassets, and the Aubreys; was a Tudor edifice; and is now a ruin. Limestone abounds, and lead is found. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Llandaff. Value, £240.* Patron, Sir T. D. Aubrey, Bart. The church is dedicated to St. Illtyd, contains effigies of a Basset and a Mansel, and is good.
