There have rarely been incidents of malicious graffiti seen in or around Narberth, but that changed last Thursday, (1st May) when a particularly worrying example appeared at the top of Narberth Hill, by the gates to the graveyard under the castle.
In Welsh it said 'Troi Nol Saes', meaning 'turn back English'.
Was this to do with the election for the new Town Council taking place at the Queens Hall, or something altogether more sinister and, in these times, certainly a race-crime?
Opposite the graveyard gates, a car was also targeted by the vandals, having a similar logo sprayed onto its bonnet.
The initials under the symbols most likely represented 'Meibion Glyndwr', or the 'Sons of Glyndwr'. They were a group responsible for firebombing around 220 English-owned homes in Wales during the 80s and early 90s, but are meant to have stopped all activity since then.

Lifelong Narberth residents expressed their justifiable outrage at the graffiti and it was soon removed.
One local said that "This sort of thing does nothing for the Town's image as a friendly place to visit - hopefully the Police will be able to catch whoever did this."
Narberth police were quick to take evidence for their investigation, which we are certain will be thorough.
