Lovely church yard. Probably most visited as the site of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas graves though a proper old fashioned churchyard and a joy to walk around. A real history of the area in the graves and tombs. Very well tended and a pleasure to explore. Church itself was locked up when I was there.
The burial place of world renowned poet Dylan Thomas and his Wife. Go up the slope on the right hand side of the church, go through the iron gates on the right, go straight on across the grass and turn left after 50 yards and go up to about 20 yards and see the white cross. Well maintained, small bottle of his favourite tipple whiskey next to the cross. Churchyard full of birdsong.
Beautiful church and graveyard. Luckily there was an Open Doors day when we visited and there was a lovely, friendly lady who gave us lots of interesting information on the history of the church and the area.
Visited the grave of Dylan Thomas. A white cross that stands out against the grey headstones of his deceased neighbours. Plenty of parking nearby.
A church famous as the final resting place of the poet Dylan Thomas.nnInside St Martins church there is a curious shaped cross-slab dating from Dark Ages, probably the 9th-10th century.nnThe slab stone is built into the east wall of the south transept has an unusual Celtic design carved onto it; though some historians claim the designwork is of Viking origin. The cross is oddly shaped, reminiscent of a human body perhaps. There is thick ropework, in the form of looped interlacing, running up from the bottom to the cross-head, while close to the edges ordinary, less thick knotwork. The large round-shaped cross-head has a Latin-style cross in the centre with a small boss in the middle of that and oval looped links between the arms.
