Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain
- Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain
Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain is a village in Powys, north central Wales about 8 miles to the north of Welshpool.
Llansanffraid means "Church of St Bridget" in English and "ym-Mechain" refers to its location in the medieval cantref of Mechain.
The football team, previously known as Total Network Solutions F.C., won the League of Wales in the 2004-05 season, the first title since changing the name from Llansantffraid FC. Following the takeover of its sponsors, the team was renamed The New Saints F.C. for the 2006-07 season.
The New Saints no longer play their football matches in Llansantffraid. A new village team has been formed with local players and they have had great success in their 1st season playing in the local league.
pelling of the name
In May 2008 the village decided to adopt the traditional Welsh spelling of the village's name, "Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain", on the grounds that the previous spelling, "Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain" was a Victorian invention. Currently various organisations, businesses, and individuals are in a transitional period and either form may be found.
