Britain's What's On Event Guide
Open Doors - St Mary the Virgin Church, Llanfair Kilgeddin
St Marys is a Grade I listed medieval church which was rebuilt in the 1800s, carefully reusing some of the earlier fabric such as the 15th-century rood-screen, stained glass and tracery. In 1885 the vicars wife, Rosamund Lindsay, died and her husband decorated the interior in her memory. The artist Heywood Sumner introduced sgraffito panels, taking The Benedicite as his theme. True to medieval tradition, Sumner included local features in his designs - eg the nearby River Usk and the Sugar Loaf
