The Parish of Hirwaun Website

Hirwaun in the 19th C was a village split in half along the river Cynon by the county boundaries of Breconshire and Glamorganshire. Thus the village of Hirwaun was in two parishes, St Cynog's, Penderyn, Breconshire and St John's, Aberdare. As the village grew in the mid C19th onwards, a new Anglican parish church was built in Hirwaun to compliment that of St John. This was dedicated to St. Lleurwg and opened in 1858.
