Return to St Mary

This week we return to St Mary Church Llanfredd this is a church I have visited a couple of times but the door was always locked. I found out the key was kept at the farm next door so I borrowed the key and took these photos of the inside. You can see the photos I took of the churchyard in the link

Here we look down the nave of the church towards the atar. I was not sure what to expect inside but was pleased to see it was more or less unmodernised

The whole church was painted white inside and with the sunlight made it quite bright so easy to see the colors of the stained glass and altar covering

The stained glass window has memorial inscription written on the base

The carved wood eagle lecturn I though was well done

epecally the way the feathers are carved on as well

Opposite is the pulpit which is also wood. At the back is the font which looks older than the present church

These photos show the church looking from the altar

The roof joists are on show and well kept

There are few memorials in the church. One is roll of honour at the back the other is a memorial to William James and his children

Another is to Edward Davies though the tablet is not that old being  erected in 1969

The side windows are leadded glass but not stained

A Bible is always in eveidence in a church












at  the back looking through the doot I spotted this chest which looks of an age as well

A simple cross in the north window

A last look at the inside

St Mary , Have a good Weekend
