Parish of Bayvil.

This parish is situated in the Hundred of Cemaes and is bounded by three other parishes; namely:- Moylegrove, Nevern and Meline.

Bishop's Transcripts commence from 1674 and are very patchy. They can be seen at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. The LDS has filmed some of these are are available on Call Number 0105128.

History: Church history added 28th January 2000.

Bayvil Church - St. Andrew the Apostle.

This benefice was appropriated to the Abbey of St. Dogmaels in Kemes, probably by Robert Martin, Lord of the Lordship Marcher of Kemes.

It is evident, however, that there was formerly a rectory here, as in 1493 Hugh ap Thomas was presented to the Rectory of Bayvil by the Abbot of St. Dogmaels.---Episcopal Register.

On the 7^th May, 1691, Griffith Rice, curate of Bayvil and Moylegrove, subscribed to the King’s Supremacy.---Watson’s Subscrip. It would appear from this that Bayvil and Moylegrove parishes were probably at that time united, and continued so until 22 March, 1879, when they were disunited under an Order in Council.
