St Fagan's

I went with my sister on a coach outing to St Fagan's, the National Museum of Welsh History. This is an open air museum where buildings have been brought from all over Wales and rebuilt. There are farmhouses and miners' cottages, a post office, a school and a bake house. Most spectacular of all was St Tielo's Church. This little church was brought from 40 miles west of Cardiff and reconstructed as it might have appeared in about 1530 in its pre reformation splendour. It contains all the elements of a late medieval Catholic Church. The wall paintings are replicas of the originals and painted using the same pigments and covered the whole interior of the building. It was stunning.
My extra show a farmhouse in a woodland setting, and the interior of a cottage where a girl was playing a Welsh harp in front of a warm fire. The fire was welcome as there was a cold wind outside.
