A window on Lladdwyn Island

A colourful view of Tŵr Mawr lighthouse on Lladdwyn Island through the old window of St Dwynwen’s Church. This is a ruined medieval church dedicated to St Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, often seen as the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine. It was a place of pilgrimage during the Middle Ages as archaeological work has shown traces of earlier buildings beneath the present ruins, indicating a long and complex ecclesiastical history. It has a cross shaped plan.
Tŵr Mawr lighthouse is Welsh for “great tower” and started life as an unlit marker it was improved with lighting in 1846. It was made redundant when the smaller nearby tower was fitted with more modern equipment in 1975

The PiP shows the same lighthouse taken last year.
