Llanboidy Tithe Schedule 1844

Many years ago, I spent hours and hours transcribing the Llanboidy parish Tithe Schedule of 1844 in the Carmarthen Records Office and here it is for all to see:

The biggest landowner in the parish was Walter Rice Howell Powell of Maesgwynne. 

Walter Rice Howell Powell (1819 - 26 June 1889) was a  Liberal politician.

Powell is still remembered in Llanboidy by the drinking fountain inscribed "This fountain is erected to commemorate the completion of the work for supplying this village with water in compliance with the last wish of W. R. H. Powell M.P."

Powell was the son of Walter Rice Howell Powell and his wife Mary Powell. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. On the death of his father in 1834 he inherited Maesgwynne estate of 3,468 acres (14.03 km) in the parish of Llanboidy, Carmarthenshire, which had been owned by the Howell family. For 50 years he was master of the foxhounds. He was a J.P. for Pembroke, Carmarthen and Cardiganshire and was High Sheriff of Carmarthenshire in 1849. In 1867 he funded a 24 piece brass band for Llanboidy.

Powell was elected Member of Parliament for Carmarthenshire in 1880 and when it was divided in 1885 became member for Carmarthenshire West, which he held until his death in 1889.
