Harry Morton Llewellyn was born in Aberdare in 1911. He was the son of a colliery owner, educated at Oundle School and Cambridge University before he joined the Army and saw action in Italy and Normandy, serving as a liaison officer to Field Marshall Montgomery and rose to the rank of Colonel.

He is famous in sporting history for his achievement of winning a gold medal for show jumping in the 1952 Helsinki Olympic games, for the British equestrian team, riding his favourite horse "Foxhunter". When his noble steed died in 1959 Sir Harry honoured him by burying his remains on the Blorenge and at the given co-ordinates you'll be able to find a small plaque in memory of the great horse.

"Here lies Foxhunter,  Champion International Showjumper..."

When Sir Harry himself passed on to that Great Showground Up Above in 1999, his own ashes were scattered near to Foxhunter's grave.

Not far from Foxhunter's grave you'll find a very solid bench. It's in a wonderful position for admiring the panoramic views and has good flat 'arms' on which to place your drinks and sandwiches. To claim this Virtual find you'll need the surname (5 letters) of the man commemorated by this bench.
