Trip to St Aeddan's Church, Bettws Newydd
St Aeddan's Church was founded by an Irish saint, Aedan of Ferns (558-632) first as an oratory. The first church on the site had 12th century origins but the building that stands there today is 15th century. It is a grade 1 listed building and has the best example of an oak rood and screen probably anywhere in the UK. If you look at the second photo you will see I have captured an orb on the left-hand side. The churchyard contains an ancient Yew which is about 2000 years old. A rhyme about the tree stands in the entrance to the church. Some other photos of the area A tiny place with loads of history, well worth a visit :)
