Henllan Amgoed is a small village near Whitland, Carmarthenshire and forms part of the community of Henllanfallteg. The village is home to a chapel and a graveyard. Henllan Amgoed was served by a small local primary school until its closure in 2004, with the pupils moved to an amalgamated school, Ysgol Bro Brynach, in Llanboidy.[1]
Henllan Amgoed takes its name from the ancient commote of Amgoed, and is the only village to retain the name of the past division.[2] In 1697 a Nonconformist congregation formed in the village, one of the earliest in Carmarthenshire.[3]
Eileen Beasley (1921–2012), a prominent Welsh language activist was born and died in the village.[4]
