The property is divided among a few. Llys-Dulas is a seat of Lord Dinorben; and stands amid grounds which slope to the water's edge, and command splendid sea-views. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Bangor. Value, not reported. Patron, the Incumbent of Anilwch. The church is dedicated to St. Gwenllwyvo, was recently restored, and contains an elaborate brass of the 17th century.
