Fifth Holy Well: the much overgrown and algae-ridden Priory Well on Holywell Road, Abergavenny. Although restored by the Abergavenny Civic Society, it's clearly seen better days!
Spending a few days in the Brecon Beacons (Wales). The trip so far has a watery theme: rain (and more rain!), waterfalls, and holy wells (+ some dry churches!). More later .

St David's Church, Llanthony Priory. Said to have been built on site of a 6th-century monastic cell. During the Middle Ages the building was the Priory's infirmary and it was only established as a stand-alone church in the 16th century.

Excited to visit Llanthony Priory, a house of Augustinian canons established early 12th century.🏴 .Recall Gerald of Wales' description: "the mountains rising above almost touching heaven" and the site "abounding with deer feeding aloft, at the extremity of the lofty horizon." 😍

More water! - Llangorse Lake and the Welsh Crannog Centre. 🏴.The Crannog (c.916 AD), pictured in the 2nd image, is unique to Wales. Crannogs (manmade islands) are usually associated with Scotland & Ireland. Llangorse Lake is the largest natural lake in south Wales.

2/2. The church also has a rather interesting font with Runic and Lombardic inscriptions, described as 'the only example of its kind in Wales'. Its base is an upturned font!

The church of St Cynog, Defynnog. As well as the location of the Defynnog Yew, the church boasts a Roman tombstone with Celtic inscriptions in the porch, and a pre-Norman stoop . 1/2

2/2 . It's hard to capture a sense of the Defynnog Yew on camera, not just because of its vast size but also because - when you're among its branches - you realise it's not just a tree (or two trees as the case may be) but a whole micro-world (a mini forest) in itself.

Pilgrimage to the venerable Defynnog Yew, in St Cynog's graveyard, Powys. The tree is sometimes claimed to be the oldest yew in Britain and dated to the Iron Age. 1/2

And, beside St David's Church, Llanddew, our 3rd holy well of the trip: Bishop Gower's Well. The well was built into the defensive walls of the medieval Bishop's Palace (see previous post), with a 'private' and 'public' side, the latter to enable public access. Pump 1908.

St David's Church, Llanddew, reputedly the 1st Christian site in Brecknockshire (present building 12th century). Also pictured: the remains of the medieval Bishop's Palace where Gerald of Wales, as Archdeacon of Brecon, lived between 1175-1203. 🏴
