A. G. Edwards, the first Archbishop of the disestablished Church in Wales, was born in Llanymawddwy in 1848.
According to local tradition, Bryn Hall was once haunted by a headless horseman. The haunting is said to have ceased after a grave belonging to the Lord's illegitimate child was found near the hall.[1]
