During the war the Germans sent a spy to the valleys to make contact with German sympathisers. He parachuted near to this village and the password to use was "There is a welcome in the hillside." His contact was to be a man named Davies.
When he saw a man coming towards him he asked him if he knew of anyone named Davies living in the village.
"Yes, I know quite a few actually. Let's see. There's Davies-the-Bread, Davies-the-Milk, Davies-the-Coal... and as it happens, my name is Davies."
The German leaned over and whispered the password "There is a welcome in the hillside."
"Oh, you should have said" - said Davies - "You'll be wanting Davies-the-Spy then?"
