Images of the 1876 Littlebury’s Directory entry for Llanveynoe are given below.
Observations:
The Directory gives population, area, rateable value, types of crops, geology, county court and election arrangements and other details of the township. The architecture of the church is briefly described. There is no school in the township, but a new school is about to be erected nearby in Craswall.
This directory is not comprehensive in its coverage of all farms and commercial premises in the parish at the time. Also, in the transcribed lists of properties that are named, spellings in the original have sometimes been amended to reflect more common usage. In case of doubt please refer to the image of the original entry.
