It is Sunday!

This is the Church of the Holy Cross (Welsh: Eglwys y Grog) is near the village of Mwnt, just north of Cardigan on the West Wales coast, where we spent a lovely weekend.

The site is said to have been used since the Age of the Saints, but the present building is probably 14th century.

Mwnt was the site of an unsuccessful invasion by Flemings in 1155, and its defeat was long afterwards celebrated on the first Sunday in January as "Sul Coch y Mwnt". The name (Welsh: Red Sunday) was given in consequence of the blood shed on that day. It is reputed that the bones of the defeated invaders would occasionally be visible under the sand when uncovered by windy conditions. We only saw beautiful waves and a perfect beach.

It is sheltered from the sea by the hill behind the church. The nearby small sheltered beach (but not the church) is owned by the National Trust..
