St German's Church

St German's Church (Welsh: Eglwys Sant Garmon) is a nineteenth-century Church in Wales parish church in Adamsdown, Cardiff, Wales dedicated to St Germanus of Auxerre, (the Garmon Sant of Welsh tradition). The building, located on the corner of Star Street and Metal Street, is a Grade I Listed building. History and architecture The first church in this locality was established in 1857 in a converted barn and was known as Splott Chapel and as Christ Church. In 1874 this was replaced by a second-hand building made of iron. The population was growing rapidly and this building soon became inadequate. By 1881 the parish had raised €5,000 to build a new church. Lord Tredegar donated the land and laid the foundation stone of the new church in April 1882. The new church was designed by architect George Frederick Bodley, part of architectural partnership Bodley & Garner. It was built between 1881 and 1884. Newman describes the church as "tall, spacious and elegant" and of "widespread influence locally". Among other features of note, high on the south wall of the chancel of St. German's is a particularly finely carved and painted organ case – recently painstakingly restored to its former glory – which was given to the new church by the Rev. Francis Edward Nugee, who spent most of the 1880s as a young curate in the parish of Roath under the Rev. Charles Smythies, who was vicar of Roath until 1883; Smythies went on to become Bishop of British Central Africa (later renamed Nyasaland, now Malawi) and Nugee later married his half-sister, Edith Alston. In addition to the church there is a school and clergy house next door, built contemporaneously by the same architects. St German's church was consecrated in March 1886 and the new parish of St German was created in the same month. The Reverend Canon Jarel Robinson-Brown was licensed as vicar of St Germans on 23rd March 2024. In the media The BBC Radio 4 programme The Daily Service has been broadcast from St German's on several occasions. The 2026 Channel 4 Drama 'Falling' used St German's and some surrounding areas for filming. In particular as St Sebastian's Church, where the character of the Catholic priest David (Paapa Essiedu) is based. The show is written by Jack Thorne, and also stars Keeley Hawes as the devout nun Anna, who develops sudden and life changing feelings for Priest David.

St Mary's Church, Pembroke

St Mary the Virgin is a church located in the town of Pembroke in Pembrokeshire, west Wales. The church is in the Diocese of St Davids within the Church in Wales, and members of the Anglican Communion. Since 2004, it has been a part of the Monkton Rectorial Benefice. History and description The present day church dates back to the 13th century, although it is speculated that there might have existed an earlier church of St Mary. The building is constructed from stone, with a slate roof. Two original windows remain in the south wall of the building, the remainder are 19th century replacements. The tower located to the north east of the building dates from the middle of the 14th century, and currently contains a ring of eight bells. The original bells were installed in 1763, two were added in 1765 and a further two added in 1897. The font at the church dates back to late Norman times. King Henry VII, born at nearby Pembroke Castle, was probably baptised at the church, though no evidence of the event exists. The modern entrance to the church is through a porch on the west side of the building, erected in 1926, accessed from the corner of Northgate Street and Main Street. The historical entrance was through the south side of the church, this doorway now leads to the choir vestry. The church had fallen into a state of disrepair towards the end of the 19th century and closed in 1875. Four years later, major renovation work was carried out under the supervision of John Loughborough Pearson before the church reopened. The current pulpit was donated to the church a year later. The church was Grade I listed in 1951, being of exceptional architectural and historical interest. In addition, the north, east and west walls of the churchyard and the walls from the north of the churchyard to Barnard's Tower were Grade II listed in 1981, and the gates at the south-west entrance along with the railings to the south and west sides of the churchyard were Grade II listed in 2005.

St Michael's Church, Tremain

St Michael's Church, Tremain, is a redundant church in the hamlet of Tremain (or Tremaen), Ceredigion, Wales. It has been designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. History The church was built in 1846–48 on the site of an earlier church. The architect was John Jones, who had trained in London with George Gilbert Scott and William Moffatt. Jones was also a poet, known by his bardic name of Talhaiarn. Jones is acknowledged as the first architect in Wales to have received a formal training, and this is the only building to have been designed exclusively by him. In 2008 the local rector applied to have the church closed. At that time it was listed at Grade II, but in August 2009 Cadw raised its Grade to II*, and in 2012 it was vested in the Friends of Friendless Churches. Architecture St Michael's is constructed in Pwntan sandstone quarried locally at Tan-y-Groes, and has slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, and a chancel. At the west end is a stepped single bellcote with a coped gable, and at the northwest is a small octagonal turret. The windows are all lancets, with a three-light east window and a two narrow lancets at the west end of the nave. On the gables are cross finials. Inside the church the walls are rendered, and support five oil lamps, three on the north walls and two on the south. The grey stone font dates from the 13th century, and was originally in the earlier church. It is square and stands on a thick cylindrical shaft and a square base with steps. The pews and pulpit are in stained pine. Between the nave and the north aisle is a pine screen, and the aisle contains pews that are smaller than those in the nave. In the chancel the choir stalls are also in stained pine, and have large poppyheads. References
St Paul's Church, Colwyn Bay

St Paul's Church, Colwyn Bay is an active Anglican parish church in the town of Colwyn Bay, Wales. It is located in the Mission Area of Aled in the archdeaconry of St Asaph, and the Diocese of St Asaph. The church is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building. History The first religious building on the site was a mission room in 1872 which was replaced by an iron and timber church in 1880. This building was burnt down in 1886. The present church was designed by the Chester firm of Douglas and Fordham and built in stages. The nave was built in 1887–88 and the chancel was added between 1894 and 1895. The tower was started in 1910 and completed the following year. It was the last major project to be undertaken by John Douglas but he died before it was completed. In 1920 a narthex with a west door, designed by W. D. Caroe, was added as a war memorial. Architecture and contents The church is large and cruciform, built in coursed rubble limestone with Runcorn red sandstone dressings and bands. The nave of five bays is broad with low arcades and a tall clerestory. The windows are lancets, with a rose window in the south transept. The tower is "bold, craggy and heavily buttressed". Internally there is a sedilia in the chancel, designed by Douglas. The stalls are carved with detail which is in "typical Douglas" style. The reredos and riddel posts, dating from 1934 to 1935, were designed by Caroe and are elaborately carved. Depicted on the reredos are representations of the Supper at Emmaus and the Annunciation together with figures of Saint Kentigern, Saint Asaph, St Aidan and the Venerable Bede. In the west window and in the two narthex windows is stained glass designed by Horace Wilkinson in 1920–21. The first stage of the organ was built by Peter Conacher and Son in 1888. It was completed when the nave was built in 1891 and rebuilt by John Cowin in 1960. Edward Hubbard describes the church as "an extraordinary building" and suggests that it might be Douglas' "prodigy church of its decade".

Capella de Sant Govan

La capella de Sant Govan és una capella localitzada a Sant Govan, a l'autoritat unitària de Pembrokeshire, al sud-oest de Gal·les, Regne Unit. L'edifici està construït al costat d'un penya-segat de pedra calcària, amb unes mesures de 6,1 m × 3,7 m i parets construïdes de pedra calcària. La capella consta d'una sola cambra. La major part de la capella fou construïda a segle xiii, tot i que algunes parts poden remuntar-se fins al segle vi quan el monjo Sant Govan es va mudar a una cova situada a l'emplaçament de la capella. Una llegenda indica que Sant Govan es troba enterrat sota l'altar de la capella, situada a l'extrem est de l'edifici. L'entrada a l'edifici es realitza a través d'una porta al costat nord, els bancs baixos de pedra estan construïts a la llargària dels murs nord i sud i un campanar d'espadanya es troba al seu extrem oest. Es creu que la coberta de pissarra és una addició moderna en comparació amb la resta de l'edifici. L'edifici és accessible des de la cima del penya-segat baixant per un conjunt de 52 escales, Tot i que els punts d'informació turístics narren la llegenda que en comptar les escales, el nombre d'aquests és diferent quan es baixa que quan es puja. L'edifici es troba a la llista de monuments classificats del Regne Unit com a Grau I (edificis d'interès excepcional) des del 2 d'agost de 1996. Actualment, l'edifici es troba dins de la MOD's Castlemartin East Firing Range, motiu pel qual es limita l'accés a l'edifici, ja que pot trobar-se tancat al públic.

Kaple svatého Govana

Kaple svatého Govana je kaple, která se nachází v St. Govan's Head, Pembrokeshire na jihozápadu Walesu. Je zabudována do stěny vápencového útesu, stavba měří 6,1 m × 3,7 m, má venkovní stěny postavené z vápence a skládá se z jedné místnosti. Většina kaple byla postavena ve třináctém století, ačkoli některé její části se datují už do šestého století, kdy Saint Govan, mnich, se přestěhoval do jeskyně, kde se nachází kaple. Jedna legenda naznačuje, že Saint Govan je pohřben pod oltářem kaple, která se nachází v východním konci budovy. Podél severní a jižní stěny jsou umístěny nízké kamenné lavice, a na západní straně se nachází nyní prázdný výklenek pro zvon. Břidlicová střecha je pravděpodobně z pozdější doby. Budova je přístupná z vrcholu útesu pomocí 52 schodů. Pověst říká, že člověk napočítá jiný počet schodů dolů než nahoru.

St. Govan’s Chapel

St. Govan’s Chapel ist eine Kapelle am St. Govan’s Head in Pembrokeshire im Südwesten von Wales. Das an die Seite einer Kalksteinklippe angebaute 5,3 mal 3,8 m große Gebäude mit Wänden aus Kalkstein besteht aus einer einzigen Kammer. Es wurde überwiegend im 13. Jahrhundert erbaut, obwohl einzelne Bestandteile auf das 6. Jahrhundert zurückdatiert werden können, als der Mönch Saint Govan eine Höhle in der Nähe der Kapelle bewohnte. Nach einer Legende ist er unter dem Altar auf der Ostseite begraben. Man gelangt in das Gebäude über einen Eingang auf der Nordseite. An der Nord- und Südseite befinden sich niedrige Steinbänke und ein Wasserbecken mit Abfluss. Das Schieferdach ist wahrscheinlich später erneuert worden. Man erreicht die Kapelle über eine in den Kalkstein geschlagene Treppe. Nach der gängigen Legende ist es unmöglich, die Anzahl der Stufen auf- und abwärts zu zählen und zu dem gleichen Ergebnis zu kommen. Die Kapelle wurde am 2. August 1966 vom Cadw als Grade 1 in die britische Denkmalliste aufgenommen. Das Gebäude liegt heute im Gefahrenbereich des Schießplatzes Castlemartin Ost. Die Öffnungszeiten werden lokal ausgewiesen. Die Kapelle liegt an mehreren beliebten Küstenwanderwegen. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
St Govan's Chapel

St Govan's Chapel is a chapel located at St Govan's Head, Pembrokeshire in south west Wales. Built into the side of a limestone cliff, the building measures 20 by 12 feet (6.1 m × 3.7 m) with walls constructed from limestone, and consists of two chambers, one in the front and one in the back. The majority of the chapel was built in the thirteenth century, although parts of it may date back further to the sixth century when Saint Govan, a monk, moved into a cave located on the site of the chapel. One legend suggests that Saint Govan is buried underneath the chapel's altar, located at the east end of the building. The entrance to the building is via a doorway on the north side, low stone benches run along the north and south walls and an empty bell-cote is located at the west end. The slate roof is suspected to be a modern addition compared to the rest of the building. The building is accessible from the clifftop by climbing down a set of 52 steps, although tourist organisations propagate the legend that when counted, the number of steps differs between going down and going back up. The building was listed with Grade I status on 8 February 1996. The chapel is within the Castlemartin Military Training Area and is sometimes inaccessible because of military activity. The chapel was used as a location in episodes 1–3 of the third series of the BBC drama His Dark Materials. Ogof Gofan Under the chapel is a huge cave system, Ogof Gofan, containing a "cathedral-like structure", accessible only by abseiling down the cliff. The cave was re-discovered in 1966, but it had been used by people for thousands of years, from when the sea was miles from the cave mouth. References

Kaplica św. Govana

Kaplica św. Govana (wal. Eglwys Sant Gofan, ang. St. Govan’s Chapel) – XIII-wieczna kaplica położona w hrabstwie Pembrokeshire, na terenie Parku Narodowego Pembrokeshire Coast. Kaplica św. Govana 2 sierpnia 1996 roku została wpisana na listę Zabytków Walii pod nr. 17980. Do kaplicy prowadzi ciąg schodów, których według legendy nie da się dokładnie policzyć. Położenie i historia Kaplica znajduje się na terenie Parku Narodowego Pembrokeshire Coast. Położona na klifie nad brzegiem morza, od najbliższej miejscowości Bosherston dzieli ją około 1,6 km. Należy do najbardziej malowniczych kaplic pustelniczych Wielkiej Brytanii. Jest dedykowana św. Govanowi, pustelnikowi, który według tradycji żył tam w VI wieku i został pod nią pochowany. Tradycja głosi, że kiedy św. Govan przybył do Pembrokeshire, piraci z wysp Lundy próbowali go pochwycić. W tym momencie szczelina w skale na miejscu obecnej kaplicy cudownie otworzyła się i św. Govan mógł ukryć się w niej, po czym, gdy piraci odpłynęli, skała otworzyła się w cudowny sposób po raz drugi. Opis Do kaplicy św. Govana prowadzi długi ciąg schodów wykutych w skale, których, według tradycji, nie da się policzyć. Trudność ta w rzeczywistości bierze się stąd, że niektóre z nich są bardzo nieregularne. Ogólna liczba schodków wynosi około 74. Sama kaplica jest budowlą prostą, jednonawową, o wymiarach 5,3 m na 3,8 m. Na jej wschodnim krańcu znajduje się ołtarz z kamienia oraz schodki prowadzące do małej celi wykutej w skale. Cela ta została uformowana w kształcie ludzkiego ciała, jakby pierwotnie była przeznaczona dla przyjęcia świętego Govana. Pod kaplicą znajduje się słynna studnia, ciesząca się, podobnie jak kaplica, zabobonną czcią okolicznych mieszkańców. W południowej ścianie kaplicy znajduje się piscina, mały otwór i główne okno. W ścianie północnej znajduje się wejście oraz mała wnęka lub półka. Na ścianie zachodniej widnieje okrąg, pokryty w części górnej oraz na prawo od środka szorstkim tynkiem. Królewskie odwiedziny W sierpniu 1902 roku kaplicę odwiedzili król Zjednoczonego Królestwa Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii Edward VII i królowa Aleksandra wyrażając zachwyt widokiem, który zobaczyli.

Treffgarne Hall

Treffgarne Hall is a privately owned Grade II listed Georgian country house, located to the west of the village of Treffgarne, West Wales. It was built in 1842 for David Evans whose family had owned the land for some time. History Set on a hillside to provide panoramic views to the southwest over Pembrokeshire, the S-shaped building was erected in 1824 for Dr. Evans. Built out of stone with two storeys, the two hipped end panels frame a flat central-door entrance on the three-panel house. The main door opens to an axial passage which passes numerous living room doors to the large rear kitchen, also enabling access to both main and servants staircases. Considerable alterations were made to the interior in the twentieth century when the house was used as a hotel. The layout resembles that of Scolton Manor which was also designed by local architects William and James Owen. In 1905 the estate was bought by Victor James Higgon, whose wife Catherine Octavia Edwards was the last of the Tucker family to live at Sealyham House. Modern times The Hall and the associated entrance lodge both became Grade II listed buildings in January 1963. The Hall was for a time converted into a hotel and restaurant in 1979 by executive chef, Derek Stenson and his partner John Neville, the former sous chef at the Dorchester Hotel. Now privately owned, the 4 acres (1.6 ha) gardens are often opened to the public under the National Gardens Scheme, with entrance and tea and cake available for a fee donated to charity. Set on a hilltop, the garden offers extensive views and features lawns, broadwalks, pergolas, sculptures, water garden, wild flower meadow, heather garden, gravel garden and stumpery. The owners are interested in experimenting and finding out what plants will thrive in Pembrokeshire. References
