Llanfechain
Llanfechain is a little village and neighborhood in Powys, Wales, between Llanfyllin as well as Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain on the B4393 road. Historically it belonged to Montgomeryshire. Afon Cain goes through the village. It has a population of less than 500. Llanfechain might suggest "parish or church (llan) of the Cain valley" (from Llan ym Mach Cain suggesting "church in the field or level of the Cain" to Llan ym Mechain and after that Llan-mechain, which comes to be Llanfechain as a result of the common mutation of'm' to 'f' in Welsh). However, it might also mean "tiny (fechan) church or parish (llan)". Spellings of placenames differ considerably over time, so small variants such as chain/cain as well as fechain/fechan are plausible. The name in the type Llanveccheyn is first come across in 1254. It has likewise been referred to as Llanarmon-ym-Mechain, ym-Mechain refers to its area in the middle ages cantref of Mechain, thus 'Church of St Garmon in Mechain'.
