In the churchyard at Llangernyw is Wales oldest tree, a magnificent Yew about 4-5000 yrs old. A certificate signed by David Bellamy is in the chuches porch. Under the tree was a notice informing us of two standing stones possibly early Saxon on the other side of the church but not far round the corner are two more very different stones, big unworked and most perplexing. Does anyone know more about them? I for one would like to know more. postman Posted by postman

An illustrated chapter that talks about the four stones*, in "Old stone crosses of the vale of Clwyd and neighbouring parishes" by the Rev. Elias Owen (1886).

*possibly in an imaginative fashion of course, but who knows :)
