Llanteg Village Name and Pronunciation

Have looked up the authority book on village names - called Place Names of Pembrokeshire.

Llanteg has been spelt many different ways over the centuries - Lanteg (1324 Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem), Llanteage (1569 Francis Green Manuscripts).  Lanteague seems to date from 1789 (Picton Castle Coillection) while there was even a Nanteg in 1329 and other variations.  

No specific mention of when the current spelling emerged - though it might have developed with the arrival of post offices etc.  Something for us to look into!

The village is currently called LLANTEG - but the old Mountain Chapel has a different spelling of LANTEAGUE. 

Oddly although the spelling is in the Welsh form of Llanteg it is always pronounced as if it was spelt Lanteague.

Crunwere's Community Association has, in 2013, merged with the Village Hall Committee - mostly because it was virtually the same people on both.

    

Since its formation Llanteg Community Association has been involved with the clearing and maintaining of the Old School Garden, The Claypits (both community land), Youth Workshops, fundraising Bingo and Community Carol Services.

Anyone is welcome to come along to the meetings, or to get involved with any of the working parties and planting.
