St David (Llandewi Brefi)
St David (Llandewi Brefi) submitted by cerrig : Both of the southern wall stones. They do look a bit like the Little Britain team, size wise. Can you guess which is which (a bit of a clue; the one on the left is known as St David's staff). (Vote or comment on this photo)

St David (Llandewi Brefi)
St David (Llandewi Brefi) submitted by cerrig : An odd stone compared to the others, with the side facing the wall also having carvings on from several periods.

St David (Llandewi Brefi)
St David (Llandewi Brefi) submitted by cerrig : I don't know about you, but theres something a bit "jolly" about this chap. It might not be Dafydd, unless our ancient ancestors could see far into the future, but he's definitely very different than all the other stones. Even the shape is a bit portly. I suppose this means that he is, after all, the only one in this village.

St David (Llandewi Brefi)
St David (Llandewi Brefi) submitted by cerrig : Looking Eastwards, towards the Altar. The stones can be seen opposite one another, against the walls, about 1/2 way up the aisle.
