Betws Bledrws
Betws Bledrws, is a village between Lampeter and Llangybi, Ceredigion, Wales[1] that was also known as Derry Ormond when under the influence of Derry Ormond Mansion.

Betws Bledrws
Etymology
The first part of the name of the village comes from the Middle English word bedhus, meaning "prayer house", which became betws in Welsh.[2]
Derry Ormond Mansion, demolished in 1953, lies close to the village. Linked to the old Mansion is the now crumbling Tŵr y Dderi that can be seen for miles around. Betws Bledrws Church was rebuilt in the 19th century.
