Burton - "a live act at the Llanmaes Village Hall performed by Rhodri Miles"
CommentA reminder that tickets are available for the acclaimed stage play Burton at Llanmaes Village Hall, October 23rd at 7pm for 7:30pm start. This is not a Cinema documentary. Rhodri Miles (Richard II-Hollow Crown, Torchwood and Game of Thrones) vividly presents the life of the great Welsh actor from humble beginnings to Hollywood mega-star. Beautiful women, alcohol, wealth, stage and screen are the threads woven into this sad, happy, exuberant, often hilarious one-man show.
The show received critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009 and also Hollywood Fringe Festival 2010, where the play won 'Best International Show'.
To buy your tickets please click here to contact the Llanmaes Social Committee, or call Jackie on 07976698325.

St Cattwg's Church. Recent work in our Churchyard
CommentPlinth to Preaching Cross
We at St. Cattwg's Church Llanmaes have been able this summer to carry out conservation work to the grade 2* listed masonry plinth structure with the help of grant monies from both the Welsh Church Act Fund and the St. Andrew's Conservation Trust in Dorchester.These monies have helped to boost our church restoration fund enabling us to carry out this project which was in danger of collapse. This should now stand in our churchyard for a long time to come.
The plinth is thought to be four hundred years old. We know that John Wesley visited St. Cattwg's on more that one occasion. Given his preference for speaking out of doors the preaching mound would have offered an ideal place to do so. The original cross would have been removed during the Reformation when such crosses were often hidden from zealots in the churchyard by the wardens. Alas we are still to find ours. The current cross had developed structural defects and was removed during these works. It is now hoped in the future to erect a cross replacing the modern cross erected last century,completing this monument.
