Saxons, soldiers of the 12th-century Welsh prince Gruffydd ap Rhys, as well as Cromwell's soldiers during the Civil War, are said to have taken refuge here. Even today, religious expeditions to the island of Bardsey (considered the "Rome of Wales" in the 12th century) set off from this church. You can also visit the cemetery, where some tombs date back to the 6th century. For further information, visit the website.
