History and background
Historically, it was in the county of Montgomeryshire (Welsh: Sir Drefaldwyn).
The village is named after its church, dedicated to St. Gwrin, which dates from late medieval times and was last restored in 1864.
Once a thriving community with its own Blacksmiths, Public House and village shop, all long since closed, in recent years the village has been a collection of houses stretched along the B4404 road.
Straw man
Llanwrin is known locally, for its various Straw man characters which are located from time to time on the small triangle shaped village green.
