    Llandaff (S.Wales) in South Africa.

    I am posting these images for members interest and I hope you will enjoy the photos. These pictures were taken whilst travelling through the Van reeman Pass on the way to Jo- burg to catch my flight to Capetown. I came across this little church which was built by a Welshman to honour his son, Llandaff Matthew, who saved 8 lives when his colliary collapsed.I trust the pictures will tell it's own story. Please note that the sancutary replicates a wing in Llandaff Cathedral,Cardiff. I have actually sent copies of these photos to the Archivist at Llandaff Cathedral, and the photos have been acknowleged.

    (ii) The sancturary

    (iv) The Plaque in memory of Llandaff Matthew- apologies for the flash.

      Thanks Gordon. Life is full of surprises like this little church which I came across quite by chance and I hope it brings a cheer to all our good Welsh members that they have a little corner in South Africa as they have in Patagonia!

        Due to the historical importance of this little church, I should give the full narrative here.
