SAINT ASAPH, anciently called "Llanclwy," is a is decorated, and was begun by Bishop Anian n. (1268- village, city and parish and the head of a see, union, 93), and probably completed during the first half of the county-court district and petty-sessional division, chiefly 14th century. It is finely situated on an eminence in Rhuddlan hundred, in the county of Flint, excepting between the rivers Clwyd and Elwy, and is the only the townships of :Meriadog and \Yigfair, which are in one of the four \Velsh cathedrals which has this advan the hundred of Isdulas, in Denbighshire; the city has a tage of position. In plan it is a simple cross, and con station on the Rhyl, Denbigh and Corwen section sists of choir, transepts, clerestoried nave of five bays of the London & North-Western railway, 218 miles with aisles, and a plain but massive embattled central north-west from London, 28 north-west from Chester, tower, 40 ft. square and 100 ft. in height, and con- 15 west from Flint, 10 west from Holywell and 6 south- taining bells. The choir, built in 1867-68 from the east from Rhyl, and is agreeably situated on the de::-;igns of the late Sir G. Gilbert Scott R.A., is Early banks of the Elwy and Clwyd, near the point where English in style, but the east window is a reproduction these streams unite. The city is lighted with gas and of a decorated example at Tintern abbey, and is fitted supplied with water by local companies. St. Asaph, with stained glass, presented by Miss Sheepshanks, as together with seven other places in the county, forms a memorial to William Carey D. D. Bishop of Exeter the Flint Parliamentary district, returning one member. (1820-30) and of St. Asaph (1830-46) and to :Miss The see of St. Asaph is said to have been founded in Carey; the reredos, a handsome work, was designed the 6th century, about A.D. 583, by St. Kentigern, an by Sir G. G. Scott. The canopied stalls, 24 in exiled bishop of Glasgow, who, being permitted by the number, are arranged under the tower, and returned at Prince of North Wales to take refuge here, founded a a slight angle at the west end ; they are chiefly of good monastery on the spot, and erected a church from Late Perpendicular work, but have 1een repaired and which the place derived its ancient name ; it is affirmed have received some additions ; the bishop's throne is a also that he was the first bishop of the see, and that on 1 modern work of oak, in the Decorated style, ·with a his return into Scotland (c. 596) he was succeeded by gabled canopy. The organ is placed in the north St. Asa or Asaph, whose name both the place and see transept, under the north window of which is a manu now bear. The diocese comprises the whole of Flint- ment to John Luxmoore D. D.
