Bodychain has nothing to do with Blessed Matt Talbot or the Marquis de Sade; it is merely a Welsh word meaning 'the abode of oxen'. 'Bod' comes from the Old Irish 'both', which also gives the Scottish 'bothy' and 'ychain' are oxen. Bodychain is a pastoral farm located close to A487(T), also shown in the photograph.
