Notes

This is the form recommended in the national standard reference work, A Gazetteer of Welsh Place-Names (University of Wales Press, 1967). One should not deviate from its recommendations without good reason.  

The current convention is to omit a full stop at the end of a contraction which includes the final letter of the word (Saint > St) and omit the possessive apostrophe.
