Llanrhidian Lower Stone
Llanrhidian Lower Stone submitted by TheCaptain : Llanrhidian Lower Stone viewed looking west, showing its position on the green near the church. Unfortunately the church was also shut while here, so I could not check out its rare ancient carved "hog-back" gravestone in the porch. (Vote or comment on this photo)
