Simon Jenkins in his book 'Wales Churches, Houses, Castles,' under 'Treberfedd' writes "...... on the shores of neighbouring Tal y Llyn, the largest natural lake in South Wales." I'd like to point out that 'Tal y Llyn' (Brow of the Lake) is not the lake itself but the name of more than one community on the shores of 'Llyn Syfaddan' or as it erroneously called 'Llangorse Lake', as 'Llyn Tegid' is called 'Bala Lake'. The parish is 'Llyn Safaddan'. Considering the knowledge and eye to detail that otherwise goes into the tome I was taken aback, but there again it is neither church, house nor castle, surprising all the same considering its place in Welsh legend particularly of the swans recognition of the true Prince..
