I blame that bloody tractor me-self....

Found some stuff on that church too. Seems that there is a 12th century church of the same name. The one we saw was built 1839 late Georgian style.

The artist that lives there is a sculptor who is greatly influenced by the archaeology of the surrounding area and he uses Bronze age methods for his work.

Yes definately the tractor...

looking at Ironmans photo with Maen y Bardd in the background. That is where the farmer was cutting back the bracken.

Excellent, thanks for that. Possibly that was his wicker work then.

We all use Bronze Age methods in our work - can't help but do otherwise. He's my favourite church on the Llyn ( http://www.llynlight.co.uk/tony/new_2008/ps_001.htm ). It's easy to forget that the christian pilgrims took over after the druids had been obliterated.
