Villa 1856
Y stori yw mai llong Sbaenaidd oedd hi yn cario glo o Lerpwl i Havre. Noson y Royal Charter yn 1856 yr aeth y “Villa” ar y creigiau ym Mhorth Colmon a boddwyd un o’r criw. Roedd Thomas Williams, Aelfryn, Tudweiliog yn blentyn pan ddigwyddodd hyn ac ymwelodd a’r ardal drannoeth.
Ni fentren ni y plant fyned yn agos ati am fod y criw oedd arni yn ryw hanner anwariaid, ac yn cario wrth y strap oedd am eu canol gledd mewn gwain.
Aed ati i gladdu’r aelod marw o’r criw ym mynwent Llangwnnadl ond trwy ryw arnryfusedd roedd y bedd yn rhy fyr. Neidiodd un o’r criw i’r bedd ar ben y corff i ofalu ei fod yn mynd i lawr yn iawn. ‘Roedd person y plwyf, wrth lwc, yn ŵr cyhyrog ac fe’i cododd allan. o ‘Ar hyd ben ‘rallt – Elfed Gruffydd
Villa 1856
The story goes, that it was a Spanish ship, carrying coal from Liverpool . Wrecked on the same night as the Royal Charter yn 1856. The “Villa” was driven ashore on the rocks of Porth Colmon, losing one of it’s crew.
An eye witness, Thomas Williams, Aelfryn, Tudweiliog was a boy when he visited the scene the following day. The children wouldn’t venture too close because the crew who were aboard were half crazy. They carried swords in their scabbards. One of the crew members who had died was taken and buried in Llangwnnadl Churchyard. Due to unfortunate measurement, the grave was too small, and one of the crew jumped up and down on the body to make it fit.
