| The parish
of Ystradgynlais Lower included Ystradgynlais
itself, Gurnos, Cwmtwrch, Cwmgiedd, Penrhos, Cae'r bont, Cae'r-lan, Pant-y-cwrt,
and most of Abercrave. Throughout Queen Victoria's reign this was the most heavily populated part of Breconshire. Why do you think this was? Why do you think the population of the parish fell a little after 1861? Why do think it increased so dramatically at the end of the period? |
