Good fun today paying my respects to the 10 bells of St Mary’s Priory Church, Abergavenny. All in the Up position apart from the small calling bell, they have been called “the finest ring of ten bells in Christendom”. They were recast and increased in number to 10 in 1947.

On Sunday 22nd December, there will be carols at St Cadoc’s, Llangattock-Vibon-Avel. This Monmouthshire church, which possesses a great collection of Victorian stained glass, will reverberate with the beautiful harmonies of the Llangattock Community Choir.

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
