The Gellidywyll Stone has travelled around a bit. It was allegedly carved in the parish of Maenclochog in 1743, moved to Gellidywyll mansion as a headstone for the squire’s horse in 1786 until being moved to its current resting place in Cenarth church yard in 1896. It’s inscribed ‘CVRCAGN - FILI ANDAGELI’. Meaning Curcagnus, son of Andagelli.

@allofmystudentsrunaway I prefer your version! I couldn’t find anything further back from 1743 but I’m happy to stand corrected 👌👌

@Stubo37
these things tend to have late recording dates because there was never any need to do so until the antiquaries turned up and started writing things down. 😂
