Background
History
There is evidence of an Iron Age hill fort in the immediate area. There was a Roman fort, so far undated precisely but it may have been built during the first campaign of conquest of Wales by the Roman governor Julius Frontinus (AD 73-77). In the 6th century an unknown monk from Llanfor was reputedly responsible for converting Llywarch Hen, prince of Rheged, to Christianity. There is a legend that the Devil used to frequently visit Llanfor Church in the shape of a pig.
