@friendschurches The experience of the Llanfrothen burial ground case was key to David Lloyd George's determination to disestablish the Anglican church in Wales. Shame the church is not still in use - despite interesting roof structure!

A magnificent piece of medieval craftsmanship, the late 15th century roof structure of St Brothen's, Llanfrothen stretches over 70ft in length and carries nearly 15,000 slates.

Recognise that angel?
He/she/they is on the fabulous tomb of Henry VII in @wabbey Lady Chapel.
On left is the stunning golden dragon. Only acceptable dragon colour apart from actual red 🏴
