Saved by the ring in Llanfair TH


A simple iron ring on the door of St Mary's Church at Llanfair Talhaiarn (Conwy county borough) is a relic of Britain's justice system of yore. Anyone fleeing from law ...

enforcers could grab the ring and claim immunity from prosecution. Sounds easy? There were conditions, including compulsory exile from Britain. For more on this custom and the church's history - including the story of a poet and architect who was a supervisor of the construction of London's Crystal Palace - use your mobile to scan the HistoryPoints QR codes on the noticeboard as you enter the churchyard.
