Llanfrothen
This little Welsh hamlet in Gwynedd sits in mountain terrain between Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog, with water close by and the wider region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites. Llanfrothen's Grade I listed church of St Brothen entered Welsh legal history in 1888 when a young David Lloyd George argued the Llanfrothen Burial Case, establishing the right of nonconformist families to bury their dead in parish churchyards without an Anglican service. The church is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
