A short talk about the history of St. Catwg’s church, Llangattock and some of the other notable residents of the village by Elizabeth Siberry
Henry Vaughan would probably recognise the broad plan of the church, from his time in the village studying under Matthew Herbert, although it has been much altered since the 17th century. Dedicated to an important early medieval Welsh saint, Catwg, points of interest include memorials to some notable residents from 19th century ironmasters to village craftsmen and the important memorial tablets carved and decorated by a local stonemason dynasty, the Brutes, from nearby Llanbedr.
The talk will be followed by tea/coffee and cake, with a warm welcome from members of the church.
