Back in June I attempted to visit St David’s Church at Llangview, not far from Usk. SAdly my satnav led me astray, trying to take me there via a field from a slip road from the A449. I’m sure this might be possible in the right type of vehicle, but my Mini isn’t cut out for off-roading! In October I had another try, and at the third attempt I finally succeeded in finding this adorable church in the middle of a field!
It was definitely worth being persistent. The autumnal sun was throwing beautiful shadows across the box pews inside, while the flowers left to decorate the church added a lovely touch.

Today St David’s is cared for by the Friends of the Friendless Churches, a small charity who help rescue endangered churches. I’ve enjoyed visiting several of their churches and have become a member to support them. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit some of their buildings nearer to home soon.

This narrow doorway caught my eye. We’ve been encouraged to have more ventilation indoors since Covid, but I think perhaps the gaps either side of the door may be taking this to extremes!
