Graianrhyd
Graianrhyd, also spelt ''Graeanrhyd'', is a small, scattered village in the community of Llanarmon-yn-Iâl, Denbighshire, Wales, lying in hilly limestone country around to the east of Lanarmon-yn-Iâl village, and just to the south of Eryrys.
The name is likely derived from the Welsh ''graean'', "gravel", and ''rhyd'', "ford": there is still a ford across the River Terrig on a minor road east of the village.〔The ford is at a place called Rhyd-y-Ceirw ("ford of the stags").〕 There are several limestone and silicate quarries in the immediate area, which is on the borders of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the Clwydian Way footpath runs nearby. The area is predominantly agricultural with a landscape of woods and pastureland.
There was no church in the village, though there was a nonconformist (Congregationalist) chapel, built in 1843 and rebuilt in 1859 in a simple vernacular style.〔(Tabernacl Chapel; Soar, Graianrhyd ), Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales〕 The chapel is now closed, though in 1905 it was recorded as having a congregation of 192.〔(Llanarmon yn Iâl ), GENUKI〕 The former Graianrhyd primary school ceased to operate in 2002, after its intake for the year fell to only 3 pupils,〔"School shuts doors as just three pupils turn up for classes", ''Liverpool Daily Post'', 05-09-02〕〔(Disposal of the former C.P. School at Graianrhyd ), Denbighshire County Council〕 though the village has retained its pub, the Rose & Crown.
