LlanarthThe Parish Church of Llanarth was built between 1870 and 1872 on the site of a much older building. Within it is an old stone inscribed with a cross, known as the Cross of Girhiret, named after an Irish nobleman of the 9th century. A local story tells that one night the Devil tried to steal the bell from the former church. However, he made such a noise that he woke the vicar who, armed with a bell, a book and a candle, climbed up into the belfry to investigate. By solemnly repeating the name of Christ, the vicar managed to drive the Devil to the top of the tower and forced him to jump off. In the graveyard is a strangely scarred gravestone that is said to bear the marks made by the Devil when he landed. |
