The Flemings, from Flanders, landed at Mwnt in 1155. Their defeat by the Welsh was commemorated at least in the eighteenth century by a games meeting held on the first Sunday in January, 'Sul Coch y Mwnt' - Bloody Sunday. Within living memory many human skeletons and bones have been exposed from the farmlands of Ffynnon Grog to the fringes of the shore. A nearby stream still bears the name of Nant y Fflymon - the Flemings' Brook.
