In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llantrisant like this:
LLANTRISAINT, a parish in the district and county of Anglesey; near the river Alaw, 5 miles W of Llanerchymedd r. station. Post town, Holyhead. Acres, 4,447. Real property, £4,710. Pop., 488. Houses, 93. The property is much subdivided. The living is a rectory, united with the p. curacies of Llanllibio and Llechcynfarwydd, in the diocese of Bangor. ...
Value, £813.* Patron, the Bishop of Bangor. The church is dedicated to Sts. Avran, Icuan, and Sanan; and is of fair character. The name Llantrisaint signifies ''a church of three saints." A spot is here called the Tomb of Bronwen, said to have derived its name from a tradition that a queen of Ireland died or was buried at it in consequence of a blow by the hand of her husband. There are an endowed school with £18 ayear, and charities £40. Dr. Williams, ancestor of the Wynnes of Wynnestay, was rector.
