A truly stunning historical church. The paintings, although strange, are mesmerising. There's plenty of information available at the church explaining it's origins and restoration.
A small secluded village in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan with a hidden gem. This church discovered medieval drawings and is considered one of the best finds and examples of this type of drawing in the UK.
The church has some interesting history, and can be accessed during the day. It is next to the local pub that does fab food. Please give a donation to the further works in the church. There may be more of these drawings yet to be discovered!! Also Google it for further info.
A small, medieval white washed village church containing stunning Murals which it is thought may have been concealed during the Reformation.
The Murals were only discovered by accident during recent restoration work which is still in progress.
The exposure of the Murals is clearly painstaking work and is humbling to behold.
A special joy was to find the Church actually open for visitors to see the priceless contents without having to make a special request for access.
St Cadocs is in the tiny village of Llancarfan, accessed from the main road is via a narrow predominantly single track lane with passing points.
Quite a large village church for its age, parts of which are over 500 years old. Particularly unique are the recently uncovered wall paintings, including St George killing a dragon, and depictions of the Seven mortal sins. Wonderful to see these preserved and in situ, as they rarely survive the ravages of time.
Beautiful village church
