The village has attracted attention as the birthplace of the
pirate Bartholomew Roberts (Barti Ddu), who was born in the village in 1682. Roberts is the most successful pirate of the
Golden Age of Piracy, and is noted for creating a
Pirate Code, and adopting an early variant of the
Skull and Crossbones flag. There is a monument to him in the village. ==St Peter's Church==
