A large medieval church with a well known connection to the Dymock Poets of the First World War.
Dymock, Gloucestershire
St Mary’s church is situated in the centre of the village next to The Beauchamp Arms and Wintour’s Green.
It is well known in the area for the small wild daffodils which grow wild in the fields during the spring.
Local maps of recognised walks are sold in the church and a permanent display relating to the Dymock Poets is positioned at the west end of the nave.
The substantial tower houses six bells which were rehung in 1984. The heaviest is a tenor which weighs 17.6 cwt. A significant two manual organ built by Nicholson in 1884 is housed in the chancel. The Raikes Family replaced stained glass windows and the roof in the 1890’s. Stained glass enthusiasts will be keen to spot the Kempe windows.

Mae Eglwys St Mair, Maerun, yn eglwys brydferth sy’n dyddio nôl i’r ddeuddegfed ganrif. Yn nythu’n glud yn y llain las rhwng Caerdydd a Chasnewydd, mae bellach yn adnabyddus am fod yn lleoliad ar gyfer un o episodau Dr Who!
Petrisw, Powys
Cyrhaeddir yr eglwys hon trwy deithio naill ai ar hyd lonydd troellog sy’n gyforiog o flodau, neu ar hyd llwybr troed. Wrth gyrraedd, fe welwch yr eglwys ganoloesol hon yn sefyll ar lethrau’r Grwyne Fawr, yn edrych heibio cwm bychan at lethrau Mynydd Pen-y-Fâl yr ochr draw.

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.
