Hi Graham … Re the church at the back of the cottages. We live on part of the church and grounds which is called The Holy or Sacred Acre. The cottages we live in go back a long way and were originally used as sleeping quarters for visiting monks. You can say its the church we go to although we do not go that often I'm afraid. We do however do lots of musical things for them to help raise money for the restoration fund. This area has been a place of worship for nearly 1000 years. In fact the Archbishop of Canterbury will be coming to the church in 2007 to bless it for its 1000th year. As the history goes, it was simply an area of open space that was used as a place of worship at first, then eventually the church started to be constructed around 1107. The Tower was then built in 1420. Up until the early 1900’s the floor inside was still earth. The stone slabbed floor is a recent addition in the scale of things. There is certainly a lot of history with the church and all the local land .. I will pm you if you would like to know more Graham, or the church have produced a little booklet all about the history if you would like me to send you one. Its all really interesting. Every Christmas Eve they hold a candlelight carol service for the children between 5/6pm, and the church is always crammed full .. you have to get there at 4pm really to get a seat or you have to stand wherever you can fit in. We and all our friends and their children go every year, but last year is the first time I went in my Welsh Cilt. I have to admit that there was something special in being in such an aged place of history who's walls want to seem to talk to you, and being Cilted as well. I guess you know what I mean. Its a spiritual thing beyond words. I will be wearing my Cilt again this year. Here’s a piccy of two of the inside the church.
