Background

History

During the early Middle Ages, the settlement was the site of Llangeneu ('St Ceneus'), which was accounted one of the seven principal sees of Dyfed despite having no endowment of land. Cledau (as Cledye) appears on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire. Erasmus Saunders (1670–1724), was born in Clydey; he was a Welsh priest and writer. Josiah Thomas Jones (1799-1873), republican and Welsh nationalist, was born at CwmHir Farm, Clydau. He went on to publish many books and established several newspapers in English and Welsh, including the Aberdare Times.
