DeskrifansSt Tyfriog's church with the grave of a duellist - geograph.org.uk - 922729.jpg
English: St Tyfriog's church with the grave of a duellist The church stands only a few yards from the River Teifi, hence the salmon leaping on the weather-vane.
The church was rebuilt in 1890 but has ancient roots, being dedicated to C6 Saint Tyfriog/Tyfrydog, and also said to be founded by Saint Breoc.
Between the two vertical gravestones within the iron railings can be seen part of the boxtomb of Thomas Heslop, victim of the last duel to be fought in Wales on September 10th 1814. The story is he got into a dispute in a pub with some local gents following a partridge shoot, tempers became inflamed and he challenged a local solicitor, John Beynon. But when, two days later, it was pistols at dawn in nearby Dan-warin fields, the victim was Heslop, shot, apparently treacherously, in the back by Beynon who was charged with manslaughter and subsequently fled to America. 'Poor Heslop' was buried in this quiet churchyard, far from his native West Indies. See http://www.newcastleemlyn.info/page14.html
However recent research and examination of the fatal bullet (which was preserved in the attending doctor's family) reveals that Heslop was shot fair and square and Beynon deserves to be exonerated!
