***PLEASE NO SPOILER PICS IN YOUR LOGS***
I'd like you to pay your respects twice while you're here. The first you will see is a magnificent Yew Tree, and beneath it's embrace, Private Judd. At 21 years of age, he probably would have enjoyed geocaching I'd like to think, and he has a long number for you to work out your final destination, which is well outside the churchyard. Its a micro host, with a nano log inside.
Presuming your degrees and minutes to be unchanged, your final 6 decimals will be...
N:1st, 7th-6th, 7th+4th
W: 3rd+(4th/6th), 6th, 5th
(Checksum = 32)
Stay stealthy, lots of curious dog walkers about...
St Crallo's is a Grade 1 listed church, and one of the largest medieval buildings in the area. No one knows why it was built on such a large scale, but we are fortunate that we have been given such a legacy.
Crallo was one of the Celtic Saints (usually dated to the 6th century) and tradition has it that he was related to Illtyd, the founder of the monastery at Llantwit Major.
Of course, nothing of the original foundation still stands (as it would have been based on an all timber frame), but we can be sure that there has been a significant Christian presence at the site for around 1500 years.
The present church has its origins in the 13th century, though many parts of it have been enlarged or rebuilt down through the ages.
Notable recent additions include the etched glass at the west end of the church, designed by Frank Roper.
