In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llandrinio like this:
LLANDRINIO, a parish in Llanfyllin district, Montgomery; on Offa's dyke, the Montgomery canal, and the river Severn, at the influx of the river Vyrnwy, adjacent to Salop, and near Four Crosses r. station, 9 miles S of Oswestry. It contains the townships of Llan and Trederwen, and has a post office under Oswestry. ...
Acres, 3,832. Real property, £4,671. Pop., 910. Houses, 157. The property is much subdivided. Llandrinio Hall and Penrhos were chief residences, but are now occupied by tenants. The tract adjacent to the Severn used to be subject to devastating inundations, but is now protected by expensive embankments. The Breidden hills are adjacent; and the most northerly of them is crowned by Rodney's pillar. The living is a rectory in the diocese of St. Asaph. Value, £580. * Patron, the Bishop of St. Asaph. The church is dedicated to St. Trinio, is an ancient structure, and was restored in 1858. There are chapels for Baptists and Primitive Methodists, and charities £15.
