Christmas Evans (1766 – 1838) - He was originally from Dyffryn Llynod, Llandysul. After his father died when he was 9 years old he moved to live on Bwlchog, his uncle’s farm in Llanfihangel ar Arth. When he was 17 years old he started working on other farms in the area. Also around this time he lost his right eye. He joined with the Baptists in 1787 and he became a reverend working in several places across Wales. He toured around South Wales preaching. He was declared as the most powerful preacher of the age.
Gwrtheyrn -Yn ôl traddodiad lleol, Craig Gwrtheyrn oedd lle bu farw Gwrtheyrn yn y bumed ganrif. Cafodd ei hela ar draws y wlad gan benaethiaid eraill a Sant Garmon nid oherwydd iddo wahodd y Saeson i Brydain ond achos ei ymddygiad gwarthus. Amgylchynwyd y fryngaer gan ei elynion a gweddiodd Sant Garmon a’i offeiriaid am dri diwrnod. Wedyn syrthiodd tân o’r nefoedd a losgodd y gaer a bu farw pawb ynddi yn cynnwys Gwrtheyrn.
Gwrtheyrn – As told by local legend, Gwrtheyrn died in Craig Gwrtheyrn in the 5th century. He was hunted across the country by other chiefs and St Garmon, but not because he invited the English into Britain but because of his awful behaviour. His enemies surrounded the hill fort and St Garmon and his priest prayed for 3 days. Then, a ball of fire fell from heaven and burnt the fort and everyone inside died including Gwrtheyrn.
Craig Gwrtheyrn
Mae Craig Gwrtheyrn yn fryngaer o Oes yr Haearn. Mae coed yn cuddio’r fryngaer erbyn hyn, ond byddai bwrlwm mawr yno tua dwy fil o flynyddoedd yn ôl. Yn ôl y traddodiad cysylltir y fryngaer â Gwrtheyrn (a elwir hefyd yn Vortigern), a oedd yn frenin grymus ar y Brythoniaid yn ystod y bumed ganrif O.C.. Mae rhai yn ei gofio fel y brenin a oedd wedi gwahodd y Sacsoniaid i Ynysoedd Prydain ac a gollodd ei deyrnas o ganlyniad i hynny. Dywedir taw Craig Gwrtheyrn yw Caer Guorthigirn, a godwyd gan Gwrtheyrn; y gaer honno hefyd oedd ei gadarnle olaf lle cafodd ei ladd gan daranfollt am ei bechodau!

Craig Gwrtheyrn, now hidden by trees, is the site of an Iron Age hillfort. It was lived in over 2000 years ago. The hillfort is traditionally associated with Gwrtheyrn (also known as Vortigern), a powerful king of the Britons during the 5th century AD. He is sometimes remembered as the ruler who invited the Saxons into Britannia and lost his kingdom as a result. Craig Gwrtheyrn is said to be the fort of Cair Guorthigirn, built by Vortigern and also his last refuge, where he was killed by a lightning bolt for his sins!
