Yesterday afternoon I arranged to meet Fr Adrian Berry who I am doing locum cover for in Wenvoe a week sunday. It being a fabulously sunny afternoon I arrived a little early to do some exploring. St Mary's Wenvoe is certainly a facsinating church. With a wonderful Comper reredos behind the altar and a beautiful piece of stained glass designed by the late Frank Roper. It takes the form of a Jesse Tree with the Virgin and Child framed within the tree.
What was more amazing however was the sense of peace that I found in the graveyard sitting on the steps of the preaching cross and medidating 20 minutes of pure peace, calm and tranquillity. From there we drove out to the church at St Lythans which I must confess I would not have been able to find and would have began to panic if I had left it till the morning I was there on cover. Wonderfully tranquil for a Saturday afternoon and a good way to relax before the busyness of a Sunday morning
