The area at the top of the village was known
as "The Lodge" prior to all the village being
named Weston Rhyn. Weston Rhyn and
Bronygarth were part of the township of St
Martins until 1870 when they jointly became
known as the ecclesiastical district of “The
Lodge”, and in 1898 became a civil parish.
All the villages west of Weston Rhyn have
welsh names.
