Kerry, Powys
Kerry (Welsh: Ceri) is a village and geographically large community in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales.
The village lies on the A489 road 2.8 miles (4.5 km) southeast of Newtown and possesses two pubs — the Herbert Arms and the Kerry Lamb — a village hall, a bowling green, a post office, a primary school and a hairdresser.
Kerry also has a parish church of Norman origins dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels, as well as a baptist church.
It gives its name to the Kerry Hill breed of sheep.
The large, rural Kerry community contains the villages of Kerry, Glanmule, Dolfor and Sarn. It is divided into three wards (Kerry, Dolfor and Sarn) and for Powys County Council the community is an electoral division/ward (called Kerry). It falls in the historic county of Montgomeryshire.
The Battle of Kerry was fought nearby in 1228 between Llywelyn Fawr and Hubert de Burgh.
The area around the village was the Welsh commote and Lordship of Ceri, part of the region of Rhwng Gwy a Hafren, and it was originally ruled by the Princes of Maelienydd and their descendants.
Kerry was the terminus of the Kerry Railway, later a branch of the Cambrian Railways, connecting it to Abermule that ceased operating in 1956. The narrow gauge Kerry Tramway brought timber from the forests to the main line station.
