St Cadoc's Church, Llancarfan

It is claimed that the name "Llancarfan" means "church of the stags" though this explanation is disputed.

Other explanations are that the Welsh word 'carfan' meaning a row or a ridge may refer to a boundary or that it is named after a person called Carfan.

During the reign of Oliver Cromwell a local man named Whitton Bush destroyed the window by repeatedly beating it while shouting "Down with the Whore of Babylon!

When layers of limewash were removed, it was found that the topics depicted include the Seven Deadly Sins and Saint George and the Dragon.
