So when you visit us, keep your eyes open! In this prehistoric world, the power of the pagan Celtic gods was keenly felt, ever present and intermingled within everyday life.

The cairn around the tomb is circular, approximately 75 ft 23 m in diameter. Nevertheless, modern druids and bards continue to meet within stone circles today. The chamber pictured is at the Eastern end, the most visible of the three.

District Website: Facebook: District Area: Mid West and Wales is a large District, varied in every sense of the word. The District encompasses South Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Hereford, Worcester and Wales. District Information: Our region is large and varied. It contains some of the most ancient rocks in the world and some of the greatest rivers of Britain - the Severn, Wye, Dee, and the headwaters of the Trent. Stone circles, pillars and hill-forts abound, especially in the western hills. There are many layers of Paganism in our region. They left no written remains, but they have left a rich diversity of stone monuments too numerous to mention here. Aubrey Burl's 'Stone Monuments of Great Britain', 1997, is an excellent introduction Their use of metal aided them in this, as it did in their introduction of agriculture. Next to arrive were the Celts from northern and central Europe. Like their kinsfolk the Gauls in what was to be France, they were ruled by Druids, masters of the magical and mystic arts, who were superior to the kings and chieftains. The Celts were called 'teutones' by the Romans from which the word 'teuton' comes. It comes in turn from a Celtic word 'tuath' which means a 'people'. The Romans, Pagans of a Mediterranean kind, were tolerant of and indeed interested in Celtic Paganism. The Pagans could believe and do what they liked - providing that they accepted Roman authority. But the Druids of Anglesey repudiated that, rather unwisely. The Roman general Suetonius Plotinus - the first Roman leader to lead his army across the Atlas mountains - invaded Anglesey in 61 AD. It was the end of organised Druidry in Britain. Thereafter many Celts, especially the younger, brighter ones, became romanised. Paulinus then went on to defeat Boudicca, queen of the Iceni, and became governor of Britain for almost twenty years. This battle took place somewhere in the Midlands, almost certainly in our region. So when you visit us, keep your eyes open! The Roman empire became officially Christian under Constantine in 324 AD. But Pagans of dfferent kinds continued to pour into Britain from northern Europe. Danes, Vikings,and especially Saxons , settled on the North and Irish sea coastlands, pushing the Celts, both Pagan and romanised, into the uplands of the west. This mixed Pagan heritage is very noticeable in our region. There is very much more of our region's Pagan heritage which could be mentioned. And a great deal more which needs to be discovered.

The chamber pictured is at the Eastern end, the most visible of the three. In the style of Furies, in robes of deathly black and with disheveled hair, they brandished their torches; while a circle of Druids, u their hands to heaven and showering imprecations, struck the troops with such an awe at the extraordinary spectacle that, as though their limbs were paralysed, they exposed their bodies to wounds without an attempt at movement. Others are among the earliest Christian sites in Britain. The District encompasses South Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Hereford, Worcester and Wales. The Trefignath Neolithic chambered cairn is about 0. Mrs Williams' parents' home in the village was originally a bakery which used water for the baking from its own well. Paulinus then went on to defeat Boudicca, queen of the Iceni, and became responsible of Britain for almost twenty years. Excavation revealed the remains of at least fifty people, together with pottery of Neolithic date.
