[MR] Wikipedia: St. Gredifael's Church, Penmynydd, Wales

Noble Friends,

Today one of Wikipedia's featured articles is about St. Gredifael's 
church on Anglesey, Wales: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Gredifael%27s_Church,_Penmynydd . The 
church holds the tombs Goronwy ap Tudor Hen and his wife Myfanwy Fychan, 
ancestors of Henry VIII. The hands of both effigies were damaged over 
the years by pilgrims who took way chips thought to have healing powers.

Gredifael was an obscure 6th century Welsh saint:

church:

. And don't miss the story of "Dog Tongs":

the link to a photo of these instruments is broken.

Yours Aye,
