Guest Contribution: Introduction

The Reverend Frederick George Llewellin was vicar of Clodock and Longtown from 1916 to 1921 when he moved to St Thomas’s church in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire. In 1919 he published a book entitled ‘The History of St Clodock, British King and Martyr’, which he described as ‘being some account of a Welsh borderland church and parish from the sixth Century to the present day’. The fourteen chapters and four appendices reflect the vicar’s impressive research across a wide range of interests, and can be read by following the links below.
