[MR] BBC: Welsh Pilgrim Church Restoration

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Noble Friends,

Today BBC Wales is featuring an interesting story and video on the partial restoration (more like stabilization) of a medieval pilgrimage church dedicated to St. Dwynwen, a patron saint of lovers. The video has lovely scenes of the island site.

Whew! That's more than you probably wanted to know. But there's more, much more. A Google search yielded dozens more sites and links. Seems St. Dwynwen is still quite popular.

Yours Aye,
