The village was the birthplace of the pirate Bartholomew Roberts (1682–1722) (Barti Ddu). There is a monument to him in the village.[2]
St Peter's Church has medieval origins, but was heavily restored in 1870. It is now notable for its collection of modern stained glass windows, commissioned from 1990 onwards.[3] The church is now part of the United Benefice of West Cemaes.[4]
