Quaker cemetery Llwyngwril.
There is Quaker history in the village, with this Quaker Burial Ground , near the beach, and also a house called Llwyn Du (black wood), which dates from 1137, but is best known as the home of Quakers during their persecution in the 1600s, prior to leaving Wales for America.

Friends burial ground, Llwyngwril
Mynwent Bryn Tallwyn burial ground. Bluebells and hawthorn in flower. In the 17th century many Quakers (members of the Religious Society of the Friends of Truth) settled here to avoid persecution elsewhere. Owen Humphrey of nearby Llwyn Du donated land for burials around 1664 (although the date wrought in the gate is 1646). When William Penn established settlements in the New World many migrated there. By 1876 there were no Quakers living locally and Wesleyans were granted the right to bury their dead here, with the western portion reserved for quaker burials.

Quaker Burial Ground, Llwyngwril
The ground was given by Owen Humphrey of Llwyndu as a burial ground for the Quakers of the district, c 1664. The founder of the Quakers, George Fox, visited the area in 1657. Quakers having emigrated to the New World and having died out locally in 1876 Wesleyans were granted the right to bury their dead here, but the western portion is reserved for Quakers.
