Background

History

The village is named after the early Christian Welsh Saint Rhystyd, to whom the local Church in Wales (Anglican) church is dedicated. According to a leaflet in the Ceredigion Archives: The first mention of an incumbent is of Griffith Powell, who "on July 24th 1582 was a witness before the Court Leet at Aberystwyth". The document adds that Powell had been "in 1544 appointed priest-in-charge of Llanrhystud at the yearly stipend of five pounds". A castle once existed nearby.
