MARTIN). CAERPHILLY is a small but rising market town, in the hamlet of Energlyn (parish above named), distant from London by rail (via ), 179 miles; Bristol, 49; Cardiff, 9 (by road, 7 ;) , 6; , 5D; and Newport (Mon.), about 12 miles. It is in the hundred of Caerphilly, Cardiff union and county court district, and Bristol district court of bankruptcy, in the diocese of Llandaff and deanery of Upper Llandaff (northern division). It was formerly a borough, but its privileges were lost in the reign of Henry VIII. St. Martin's Chapel of Ease is a neat structure; the living is a per­ petual curacy, annual value £12(1, in the _patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Llandaff, and held by the Rev. J udah J ones. The parish church of Eglwysilan is about three miles from the town. The Baptists, Independents, Wesleyan, and Calvinistic Methodists have chapels here. The neighbourhood abounds with coal and iron ore, and the manufacture of flannel is carried on. Up to a late period there has been a deficiency in railway accom­ modation, but the opening of the Railway some years since, and the subsequent formation of the Cardiff branch of the old Rumney, and the probable completion at an early period of the railways during the last Parliament, will afford convenient facilities for the transmission of minerals to the ports of Cardiff, , and Newport, besides the connection with the inland markets. r.rhe Caerphilly coal-field pro­ duces steam coal of good quality, and has been estimated to contain sufficient unworked coal to supply all the present production of the South Wales coal-field for a period of half a century. Previous to the opening ot' the , this place was the chief depot for the supply of coal to Cardiff, being work~d from levels on the southern outcrop of the coal-field, and conveyed m bags on the backs of mules and ponies to its destination. The Caerphilly station of the Rhymney Railway is situated about a mile from the town.
