Hen Capel Lligwy

Hen Capel Lligwy
Capel Lligwy is a ruined chapel near Rhos Lligwy in Anglesey, north Wales, dating back to the first half of the 12th century. The chapel's original purpose is unknown, but it might have been used as a memorial chapel or in connection with a local royal court, or as a chapel of ease in a large parish with a growing population. It was used for a time until the early 18th century as a private place of worship for a nearby house, then later fell into disrepair. The walls still remain, with some traces of render on them internally, but there is no roof.
It contains a 16th-century side chapel with a vault beneath, used as a burial chamber. It is a Grade II listed building

A really beautiful ruin..............especially bathed in this beautiful sunshine! The shapes and textures of the stonework are lovely. I really like the field full of grass and thistles and the distant view. The sky is particularly gorgeous.

A fascinating image Herb.............very nicely composed and taken!

It makes a great picture Herb. Apart from the ruin, which is interesting in itself, the fluffy clouds and foreground weeds add so much to the shot.
Sunday greetings, Rosa.
