Trefeglwys, Llanddewi Aberarth Upper, Llandissiliogogo,

and Llansantffraed and Llanon. In 1934 the rural districts

of Aberaeron and Lampeter were amalgamated to form Aberayron

rural district. Of the parishes which originally formed

Aberaeron rural district, those of Cydplwyf and Llanina were

amalgamated to form Cydplwyf, and those of Llanerchaeron and

Ciliau Aeron to form Llanerchaeron. The parishes of the

former Lampeter rural district which became part of the new

Aberayron rural district were: Cellan, Lampeter rural,

Llanfairclydogau, Llangybi, Llanwenog, Llanwnen, Silian and

Trefilan.
