Gillesfield church, 1796
St. Aelhaearn's church in Guilsfield.
Guilsfield (Welsh : Cegidfa , lit. "Hemlock -field") is a village and local government community in Montgomeryshire , Powys , Wales. It lies beside Guilsfield Brook about three miles north of Welshpool . It is located on the B4392 road and a disused branch of the Montgomery Canal starts nearby. The community has an area of 30.01 km 2 (11.59 sq mi ) and had a population of 1,640 in 2001.[1] rising to 1,727 in 2011. The community includes the villages of Burgedin and Groes-lwyd . The village itself had a population of about 1,220.[2]
The Welsh name of the village was first recorded in the 12th century as Kegitua . The English name was first recorded in 1278 as "Guildesfelde". It may be named after a person (i.e., "Gyldi's field") or could mean "gold field".[3]
History [ edit ]
In 1862, a hoard of metalwork from the late Bronze Age was discovered near the village. It contained over 120 pieces such as swords, spearheads, and axes.[4]
Notable buildings [ edit ]
St Aelhaiarn's Church [ edit ]
The parish church is dedicated to Saint Aelhaiarn , but has sometimes been erroneously recorded as dedicated to Saint Giles , All Saints, and Saint Tysilio .[5] The tower of the present church dates to about 1300.[1] Although the feast of Saint Aelhaiarn is recorded as 2 November, his local fair was traditionally held six days later on the 8th.[5] The churchyard is also listed, at Grade II*, on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register.[6]
Maesmawr Hall and Trawscoed Hall [ edit ]
There are several large houses in the area including Maesmawr Hall which dates from 1692 and Trawscoed Hall from 1777.[1]
Brookland Hall [ edit ]
Brookland Hall, to the SE of the village, is a Grade II listed building [7] and its Victorian garden is listed, also at Grade II, on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales .[8]
The Garth [ edit ]
The Garth, to the west of the village, was an unusual architectural work by John Claudius Loudon , more usually known for his landscape gardening . The house has been demolished by the remnants of the garden and park are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales .[9]
Guilsfield has a football team, Guilsfield F.C. , which plays in the Cymru North league.
