No doubit be named the village Henfryn, which in Welsh.. . means "The Old Hill," and later the chnreh was nauual St. etevid':a after the patron saint. When. the river was dredged a couple of years ago, many slabs were thrown up with the earth and sand, having drifted from where the mill was, a short way upstream. Renfryn also had a United Church, south of the Anglican Church. Be. side the church was the villag store and pest office.
