A Son of the Rock

In the cemetery in Broughton (see here) is what at first I thought was an old ruin. Well the part to the left is what remains of the old parish church of Broughton but what is beside it is in fact a reconstruction (from 1926-7) of St Llolan’s cell by a James Grieve. St Llolan was a 7^th bishop to whom the church was dedicated.

Reconstructed cell from side:-

Entrance to St Llolan’s cell. The notice on the door says a key is available from the village store. Since were travelling onward we didn’t avail ourselves. The plaque to the left is in memory of James Grieve:-
