and Wales described Penybont Fawr like this: PENYBONT-FAWR, a
hamlet in Pennant parish, Montgomery; on the river Vyrnwy, 8
miles W S W of Llanfyllin. It has a post-office under Oswestry,
and a chapel of ease. A Vision of Britain through Time includes
a large library of local statistics for administrative units.
