History
A word borrowed from {{langx|cy|Llanfendigaid}}, its name translates as Parish of the Blessed. The Nanney-Wynn family and their ancestors have occupied the lands of Llanfendigaid since it was first recorded in approximately 1241. The main house was built in the 13th century, and was renovated to its present design in 1746.{{cite web|url=https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300084474-llanfendigaid-llangelynin/maps#.YaQ0nm5yZPw |website=britishlistesbuildings.co.uk |title=Llanfendigaid, Llangelynin, Gwynedd}} John Nanney married the Anwyl heiress in the early 17th century.
