Church Matters.

While at the gym the morning there was an accident. I heard someone call, help, help and saw that a man had got off the rowing machine and fell onto the man on the machine next to him. He was pushed off, bumping his head on the wall. He was an elderly gent so they took him into the office. I stayed out of the way but it shook me up a bit and i finished my session very carefully. I then went into town and met my daughter and granddaughter. We did a bit of shopping and came home on the bus. This afternoon we went to Sainsburys to do some shopping, and on the way home, and still blippless, J suggested I take a photo of Pen-y fai church. He parked in the Pheasant pub car park and iwalked over. ( No, he didn't have a pint)
The church of All Saints was dedicated in 1903, the gift of Mr R.W.Llewellyn of Court Colman, as a thanksgiving for the recovery of his wife, Harriet, from a serious illness.The interior of the building contains interesting features, including a shell-shaped font held in the arms of a life sized angel, said to have been sculpted in the likeness of the young Harriet, on her wedding day.
The pulpit of quarella stone, alabaster and marble bears porcelain statues representing Jesus, St. John, St.Paul, St. Peter and St. matthew, and the marble and alabaster reredos depicts the Nativity and scenes from the Crucifixion.
It seems like only yesterday that J and i walked up the aisle of this beautiful church. My mother and father got married here as well, and i was christened there and so was our daughter. It holds lots of special memories for us.
