The Nachtkrapp is the Night Raven, found in Germany and beyond, a massive bird of the night who in most regions have malevolent intent. If it sees small children it will flap its iron wings and take the child back to its nest and make a messy meal of them #FolkyFriday

Llanyblodwel churchyard holds an 18th-century table tomb with a carved memento mori. Unusual for lacking any name or inscription, these raised stone memorials were once popular with the emerging middle classes. They are rare now due to being prone to collapse.
