Description
The smooth, cylindrical shape of Maen Twrog. This stone, not from the locality, was reputed to have been thrown from a nearby mountainside by the giant St Twrog, smashing a Pagan altar upon landing. His hand prints are supposed to be the indentations upon the top of the stone Ancient yews are in this churchyard, and the church, instead of having the usual church bells, has Tubular Bells. The Church of Tubular Bells, AND a megalith. Now, that's somewhere I could worship!
