Brief description

https://cadw.gov.wales/open-doors-ss-nefydd-and-mary-church-llannefydd

"This grade 1 listed church, near the North Wales Pilgrims’ Way, was founded in the 5th century by St Nefydd, grandson of Brychan Brycheiniog. The church has significant links to Welsh culture and language. Catherine of Berain, cousin of Elizabeth I and known as the Mother of Wales, is said to be buried in the churchyard, the Celtic origins of which are evidenced by its raised, curvilinear appearance. It is the burial place of John Roberts, 1775-1829, founder of the Welsh Harvest tradition, who also helped to correct the edition of the Welsh Bible and Prayer Book published by SPCK in 1799.

Many come here to seek peace and to pray, as people did during the Food Riots of the Winter of 1739-40 (when the Thames froze over) and during the Tithe Riots of 1887-1890 - the village well-known for its involvement in the latter."
