St Thomas the Martyr
The parish church of St Thomas the Martyr houses several ancient stones relating to the
first St Dogmael's monastery, including the Sagranus Stone, inscribed in Latin and
ogham. The stone was instrumental in deciphering the ancient ogham script in the 19th
century. The church's altar was from the monastery and is one of Britain's oldest.
