Known as the Westminster Abbey of Wales, St Illtud's is one of the oldest Christian sites in the UK.
Llantwit Major, Glamorgan
The church stands on the site of a Celtic monastery founded by St Illtud about 500 AD, the oldest centre of learning in Britain and a place where Christ has been worshipped for over 1500 years. It is an amalgam of medieval buildings, with a notable oak roof, medieval wall paintings, thirteenth century stone carved Jesse niche and a forteenth century reredos.
In a recently restored Galilee Chapel is the finest collection of Celtic crosses and stones in Wales, outside the National Museum. Two of the crosses are didicated to Welsh kings, others to Saints Illtud and Samson. It has often been described as the Cathedral of the Vale of Glamorgan.

Adeiladwyd yr eglwys hon yn 1883-6 gan y pensaer J Prichard. Ei fwriad gwreiddiol oedd adeiladu eglwys ar ffurf croes, ond daeth yn amlwg bod hyn yn rhy uchelgeisiol - ac adeiladwyd tair cilfach cyntaf corff yr eglwys yn unig.

Mae gwaith y pensaer John Coates Carter yn gyfrinach sydd wedi ei chadw’n ddiogel. Mae ei adeiladau’n ymgorffori y Mudiad Celfyddyd a Chrefft ar ddechrau’r ugeinfed ganrif – a dywedir bod eglwys St Paul ymhlith y gorau o’i eglwysi cynnar sydd wedi goroesi.

Anaml iawn y gwelwch yng Nghymru eglwys sydd â chladin pren gwyn – ac mae gan yr Eglwys Norwyaidd stori unigryw i’w hadrodd, yn ogystal â chysylltiad ag un o hoff awduron plant y byd: Roald Dahl.
