A full project was undertaken to record the historic routes pilgrims would have taken through our community to Llangynwyd, famous as the burial place of Ann Thomas, the “Maid of Cefn Ydfa”, but in the Middle Ages it was famous as the shrine of the Holy Rood of Llangynwyd, a carving of the Crucifixion that was so vivid it was believed to perform miracles.
