St John the Baptist Church

The churchyard at Ysbyty Cynfyn (es-bet-ty kun-vin) offers a fascinating example of the grafting of the Christian onto the pagan, so widely evident in Wales. Here, the remains of a stone circle are clearly visible within the Georgian churchyard walls. Earlier, the site was a hospice (ysbyty), run by the Knights Hospitaller for travelers making their way to the Abaty Ystrad Fflur.
