The Bodfari War Memorial commemorates those men of the area who died during World War I and World War II. The memorial takes the form of a marching soldier, standing on a marble plinth, in the churchyard of St. Stephen's Church. Bodfari is a rural village in Denbighshire. The ancient parish comprises the townships of Bodfari, in historic Flintshire, and Aberwheeler, in historic Denbighshire. Between 1974 and 1996 the area was part of the county of Clwyd. Church of St. Stephen - The big medieval tower of St. Stephen’s church stands at the centre of the village of Bodfari, Denbigh, Denbighshire and fine views can be had from the Churchyard. The body of the church was rebuilt in 1865. Perhaps the site of a Roman way-station, Bodfari was once famous for St. Deifar’s holy well, where children were dipped three times ‘to prevent their crying at night’. Sober authorities maintain that this well has now disappeared: optimists believe it is the one on view in the ‘Well Bar’ of the Dinorben Arms. The dipping of children there, however, is usually discouraged.
