In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llanbadarn Trefeglwys like this:
ILLANBADARN-TREF-EGLWYS, or LLANBADARNFACH, a parish, with a village, in Aberayron district, Cardigan; on the river Arth, near the coast, 3 miles ENE of Aberayron, and 11 NW of Lampeter r. station. Posttown, Aberayron, under Carmarthen. Acres, 6,283. Real property, £2,488. Pop., 948. Houses, 213. ...
The property is divided among a few. The suffix Tref-Eglwys, in the name of the parish, signifies ''three churches, ''and alludes to the existence formerly of three churches here, two of which have disappeared. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of St. David's. Value, £45. Patron, the Bishop of St. David's. The church was formerly collegiate, and had a prebend; and it is in good condition. There are two Calvinistic Methodist chapels
