Bryneglwys is a village and community in Denbighshire, Wales. The village lies to the northeast of Corwen on a hill above a small river, Afon Morwynion. The community covers an area of 24.48 km2 and extends to the top of Llantysilio Mountain.[1] It had a population of 369 at the time of the 2011 census, an increase from 344 during the 2001 census.[2][3] The 2011 census showed 36.0% of the population could speak Welsh, a fall from 50.3% in 2001.[4] The name of the village means "church hill" in English and was first recorded in 1284 with the spelling "Breneglus".[5]
The village church is dedicated to Saint Tysilio.[5] There has been a church on the site since the 7th century but the current building dates from the 15th century and was restored around 1570 and again in 1875.[1][6] Yale Chapel was added to the church around 1575.[1]
The local primary school is Ysgol Dyffryn Iâl which has two sites, one in Bryneglwys and one in the nearby village of Llandegla. It is a bilingual school under the control of the Church in Wales.[7]
The 16th-century historian David Powel came from the village.[1] To the northeast of the village stands Plas yn Iâl, the ancestral home of the Yale family who included Elihu Yale, a benefactor of Yale University in the USA.[1]
