Cwmifor
Cwmifor is a small village in Carmarthenshire.[1] It is a part of the Manordeilo and Salem community and is located between Llandeilo and Llandovery, near to the A40.
It is likely that the name Cwmifor derived from a person’s name (translating as ‘Ifor’s Valley’). It is unclear whom Ifor was.
The lower part of Cwmifor village is known as Caledfwlch. According to tradition, the name derives from events during the Middle Ages. In June 1257, a battle was fought at Coed Llathen, between the English, led by Stephen Bauzan, and the Welsh, led by Maredydd ab Rhys, the great grandson of Arglwydd Rhys, Lord of Deheubarth and Dinefwr.
