Llansantffraed

Llansantffraed is a village in Powys, Wales near Brecon. The Welsh (original) name for the village is Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain.

The village's main claim to fame is as the birth and burial place of Henry Vaughan (1621-1695), who spent most of his life there. Vaughan's grave may be seen outside the church, and a memorial to him inside.
