Llansanffraid

Llansanffraid is a village near Brecon, Wales. Its name means, in English, "Church of St Bridget". The village's main claim to fame is as the birth and burial place of Henry Vaughan (1621-1695), who spent most of his life there. Vaughan's grave may be seen outside the church, and a memorial to him inside.
