Sarn Meyllteyrn

At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth Sarn Mellteyrn was apparently a thriving village, surrounded by numerous quarries, and with three mills nearby. There were four public houses, a police station and a National School. The village church, on the northern side of the village, was dedicated to St Peter, known as St Peter ad Vincula (Latin: 'in chains'). It was mostly demolished in the 1990s. The ruins enclose a prehistoric standing stone, probably Bronze Age. Sarn Mellteyrn has two chapels, Salem and Capel Ty Mawr, both Grade II listed buildings, and both Presbyterian Church of Wales.
