Today's photo prompt for the August Break project is 'peaceful'
There is a beautiful church in Abergavenny, which I was keen to visit whilst we were on holiday in the area, having heard that some historically significant marble tombs were housed there. I was not prepared, however, for the sheer number of tombs in the church, effigies of long departed knights, and their wives, in various attitudes of devotion and prayer. A small community of the long departed, silently marking off the centuries.
Particularly moving was the the 15th C marble efigy of Sir William, and his wife Gwladys. They lay peacefully side by side unto eternity, their marble likenesses a testament to their love, as well as to the religeous conventions of the times. I found it hard to walk away and leave them.
