ENGLYN. IN the churchyard wall of Abergele, in Denbighshire, is placed a stone tablet, on which the following Englyn is engraved. Yma mae yn gorwedd, TRANSLATION. Here lies, in the churchyard of Michael, a man whose dwelling was three miles to the north. What renders this singular is, that the ocean is now within half a mile of the churchyard to the north, so that his house must have been two miles and a half out at sea, if the Englyn be correct. It is one evidence of the many instances of calamitous inundations on the Welsh coast. T. R. |
