Meifod
Meifod, formerly also written Meivod (), is a small village and electoral ward 7 miles north-west of Welshpool in Powys, mid Wales, on the A495 road and located in the valley of the River Vyrnwy. The River Banwy has a confluence with the Vyrnwy approximately two miles to the west of the village.
==History==
Although the Mediolanum of the Antonine Itinerary has since been identified as Whitchurch in Shropshire, Meifod is sometimes identified as the Mediolanum among the Ordovices described in Ptolemy's ''Geography'',〔Williams, Robert. ("A History of the Parish of Llanfyllin" in ''Collections Historical & Archaeological Relating to Montgomeryshire'', Vol. III, p. 59 ). J. Russell Smith (London), 1870.〕〔Newman, John Henry & al. (''Lives of the English Saints: St. German, Bishop of Auxerre'', Ch. X: "Britain in 429, A. D.", p. 92. ) James Toovey (London), 1844.〕 although others argue for Llanfyllin〔 or Caersws.〔Roman Britain Organisation. ("Mediomanum?" at ''Roman Britain'' ). 2010.〕
Meifod is about a mile north-east of the royal residence of the Princes of Wales at Mathrafal, and it was an early Christian centre known at ''Caer Meguaidd'' or ''Meguaid''; It is associated with St Gwydafarch in the 6th century and St Tysilio in the 7th.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-7646-parish-church-of-st-tysilio-and-st-mary-me#.VTfcyJP5d-4 )〕 Tysilio's father was Brochwel Ysgithrog, a prince of Powys, who made Meifod his summer residence. The first Christian foundation was probably a clas and a monastery in the early medieval period. A church built by Madog ap Maredudd, the last prince of the entire Kingdom of Powys, and dedicated to St Fair, was consecrated in 1156.〔 The same churchyard once contained three separate churches; Eglwys Gwydafarch, Eglwys Fair and Eglwys Tysilio.
The churchyard is said to contain the royal tombs of Madog ap Maredudd (d. 1160) and his son Gruffydd Maelor (d. 1191), Prince of Powys Fadog.〔 There is also a stone slab in the church dated late-9th or early-10th century, although very weathered the decorations on it are still clear and include a large cross and a smaller cross in a circle, it is assumed that it once covered a tomb.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=13855 )〕
