In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Talyllychau like this:
TALLEY, a village, a parish, and a sub-district, in Llandilo-fawr district, Carmarthen. The village stands in a deep vale, at the head of two lakes, 5¼ miles NNW of Talley-Road r. station, and 7 N of Llandilo-fawr; and has a post-office under Carmarthen, and a fair on 6 and 7 Aug. The parish is cut into two divisions, lower and upper, each including three hamlets; and it comprises 7,167 acres. ...
Real property, £4,881. Pop., 1,022. Houses, 208. The property is much subdivided. A Premonstratensian priory, a cell to Welbeck abbey, was founded here by Rhys ab Gruffydd; was given, at the dissolution, to the Williamses; and has left some small but interesting remains. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of St. Davids. Value, £150. Patron, the Rev. W. Nicholls. The church was rebuilt in 1773.—The sub-district includes Llansawel parish, and comprises 17,184 acres. Pop., 2,025. Houses, 415.
