In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llanllwchaearn like this:
LLANLLWCHAIARN, a parish in Newtown district, Montgomery; on a Roman way, the river Severn, the Montgomery canal, and the Oswestry and Newtown railway, 1½ mile NE of Newtown r. station. It contains the townships of Aberbechan, Kilcowen, Gwestydd, and Hendidley; the two latter of which are within Newtown borough. ...
Post town, Newtown. Acres, 4,426. Rated property, £7,372. Pop. in 1851,2,775; in 1861,2,394. Houses, 576. The decrease of pop. was caused partly by the migration of canal boatmen, owing to the opening of the railway. The property is much subdivided. Newydd Fraith is a chief residence. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of St. Asaph. Value, £355.* Patron, the Bishop of St. Asaph. The church was rebuilt in 1816.
