We did it. We’ve rescued St James’s, Llangua in Monmouthshire. In this short video, our Director, Rachel Morley, shares a quick overview of this remarkable project.

It was a privilege to be invited to learn more about the newly restored St James’ church in Llangua last week. Thank you so much @friendschurches for having me! ⛪️ 🗞️ I’ll have something in the Chronicle very soon

@RossP_22 @friendschurches Thanks, Ross! And just before anyone comments — the church came into our care in 2020. We had to sort out the roofs before we dealt with the interior. Which we will do as soon as we can. 👌

Hidden in the mountains outside Barmouth and up a narrow steep road is the beautiful St Philip’s Church, in the loving care of @friendschurches. I’m in love with it’s European feel, the loggia, Romanesque windows, and as a big Byzantine fan, its mosaics 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿#heritage #history

@TheCottam @friendschurches Ben! It’s a total pleasure and privilege to look after these places for a short part of their long lives. Just hope I can continue to do a good job. 💪

@ceritheviking @friendschurches And yes, heritage has taken a huge hit this week, we got the cuts call yesterday. Trying not to think of it as my brain needs a break over Christmas, but I guess we’re just going to have to work harder and try to prove that heritage is worth supporting. Nollaig Shona dhuit!

@ceritheviking @friendschurches Thanks a million, Ceri. We’ve got even more corkers lined up in Wales for next year. Tho, to be honest, I wish we weren’t in this position and the churches were remaining open and in use. Ah well.

Waiting in line. Greasy ghosts on the Elizabeth Line. Rows and rows along the length of the platform. Strangely haunting.

Mid 13th-century choirstalls from Split Cathedral. They’re formed of 8,224 individual pieces, and if you get up close enough and to the right angle, a decent amount of polychromy survives. I was delighted to spot a miniature woodworker looking out from one of the panels.
