LLANDYSILIO, a village and a parish in the district of Bangor and county of Anglesey. The village stands on the Menai strait, near Menai suspension bridge, and near Menai-Bridge and Llanfair r. stations, 3 miles SW of Beaumaris; and is a populous place, inhabited chiefly by workmen in the slate quarries of Llanberis.—The parish comprises 827 acres of land, and 90 of water; and its Post town is Bangor. Real property, £3,155. Pop. in 1851,1,243; in 1861,1,359. Houses, 304. The property is divided among a few. Hugh Lupus landed here in 1096; and General Mytton in 1648. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the rectory of LLlanfair-Pwllgwyngyll, in the diocese of Bangor. The old church was dedicated to St. Tysilio, and stood on Ben-Glâs, which is alternately a peninsula and an island; and the new church is a recent edifice, larger but meaner than the old one, and stands on the mainland.
