Cadoxton-juxta-Neath, co.Glamorgan
According to one enquirer, this parish was at one time "linked" with Llandrindod Wells at the time of the Rev. David Lewis, (d.1727, buried at Cadoxton), a "well-known preacher and publisher"; a Unitarian?; no evidence has been found for this suggestion, but the parish registers for Llandrindod (starting in 1734) indicate that the living may have been held by absentee clergy since baptisms, burials and marriages were officiated by the curate.

Caersws
This Montgomeryshire village was once a chartered borough with a market. It appears to have lost its status as a corporation during the reign of Charles I. It regained some of its importance in the Victorian era as the junction of the railways to the coast and to Llanidloes, with the Van mineral railway. Caersws was also the site of the workhouse for the Newtown & Llanidloes Union.
Caersws: Roman fort and vicus
The first Roman fort at the confluence of the rivers Carno and Severn was a basic camp built during the initial conquest of the area. This fort to the east of the present village was soon replaced by a more permanent stone structure to the north of the village dating from 70 AD. The site stood on a natural river terrace commanding the routes along the Severn valley, and up the Carno valley into upland Wales. Unlike southern Britain where the local population lived a more Romanised life within a provincial bureaucratic structure, Mid Wales was under the control of the Roman military. Over many years of excavation the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust has uncovered extensive civilian settlement outside the walls of the fort, including commercial, industrial and domestic buildings. These civilian communities were dependant on the military presence and declined when the garrison was reduced. (For an aerial view of the fort site go to the Gathering the Jewels website)
