Llantrisant Parish Church
18 Sep 12 - 4 One of three churches within the parish of Llantrisant (along with St David’s Church, Miskin and St Michael & All Angels Church, Beddau) the Parish Church dominates the skyline of Llantrisant and is found just off the Bull Ring in the historic part the town. The Church is dedicated to three saints: Illtyd, Gwynno and Dyfodwg. The site of Llantrisant Parish Church has been used for Christian worship for over 1300 years and the present building was built by the Earl of Glamorgan, Hugh de Spencer. The Church building, listed by Cadw, was rebuilt in Norman style around 1246 and underwent two further major restorations in the nineteenth century. A great deal of additional work has also been carried out since 1963. Within the building itself there are a number of points of interest. The east Window behind the altar features a stained glass picture of the Crucifixion depicting a beardless Christ, one of only three such windows known to exist. In addition to a font the building also features a baptistery where adults have the option of being baptised by total immersion. Finally behind the Lady Chapel Altar is the oldest item in the Church known as the 'Resurrection Stone'. This is a slab of grey stone with three crosses roughly scratched into the surface. The central cross is a Celtic Wheel cross and the stone is thought to originate from as far back as the 7th century. LOC Map Access via Swan Street, Llantrisant.
Eglwys Blwyf Llantrisant
18 Medi 12 - 4 Yn un o dair eglwys o fewn plwyf Llantrisant (ynghyd ag Eglwys Dewi Sant, Meisgyn & Eglwys Sant Mihangel a’r Holl Angylion, Beddau), mae’r Eglwys Blwyf yn dominyddu gorwel Llantrisant, ac mae hi wedi’i lleoli yn union oddi ar y Maes Ymladd Teirw yn rhan hanesyddol o’r dref. Mae’r eglwys wedi’i hymroddi i dri sant: Illtyd, Gwynno a Dyfodwg. Mae safle Eglwys Blwyf Llantrisant wedi cael ei ddefnyddio fel man i’r Cristnogion addoli am dros 1300 mlynedd, ac fe adeiladwyd yr adeilad presennol gan Iarll Morgannwg, Hugh de Spencer. Fe ail-adeiladwyd adeilad yr eglwys, sy’n rhestredig gan Cadw, mewn steil Normanaidd tua 1246, ac fe’i hadferwyd yn fawr ddwywaith yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg. Hefyd, mae llawer o waith ychwanegol wedi cael ei wneud ers 1963. Mae sawl pwynt o ddiddordeb o fewn yr adeilad ei hun. Ar y Ffenestr ddwyreiniol y tu ôl i’r allor y mae darlun gwydr lliw o’r Croesholiad yn dangos Crist di-farf, un o dair ffenestr yn unig o’r fath sydd wedi’u darganfod. Yn ogystal â bedyddfaen, mae gan yr adeilad hefyd fedyddfan lle mae dewis i oedolion gael eu bedyddio drwy drochiad cyflawn. Yn olaf, y tu ôl i Allor Capel Mair mae’r eitem hynaf yn yr eglwys, a elwir yn ‘Garreg yr Atgyfodiad’. Slab o garreg lwyd yw hon, gyda thri croes wedi’u crafu’n arw i’r arwyneb. Olwyn Geltaidd yw’r groes ganolog ac yn ôl pob tebyg, mae’r garreg yn tarddu o mor bell yn ôl â’r 7fed ganrif. LLEO Map Mynediad trwy Stryd Swan, Llantrisant.
St David’s Church, Miskin
18 Sep 12 - 4 One of three churches within the parish of Llantrisant (along with Llantrisant Parish Church and St Michael & All Angels Church, Beddau) the present church, dedicated to St David was built in 1907 to replace a corrugated iron church which was built in 1878. Funds for the building of the church were raised by public donations and events, notably the Grand Fete at Miskin Manor which raised over £1,000. The church was licensed on 23rd December 1907 and later consecrated by Right Rev Timothy Rees, Bishop of Llandaff, on Sunday 23rd April 1933. One of the main features of the church is the beautiful stained-glass window dedicated to the Rhys-Williams family. Jessie Bayes, a friend of William Morris, following in the Pre-Raphaelite tradition, designed the three most recent windows. In 2007 St David’s celebrated its centenary with various successful events, including an Open Day, Sponsored Hymn-Singing, a photographic competition and a Carol Service. Two booklets were produced, one about the history and another on the heraldry in the church. LOC Map
Eglwys Dewi Sant, Meisgyn
18 Medi 12 - 4 Yn un o dair eglwys o fewn plwyf Llantrisant (ynghyd ag Eglwys Blwyf Llantrisant, & Eglwys Sant Mihangel a’r Holl Angylion, Beddau), fe adeiladwyd yr eglwys gyfredol, a gafodd ei hymroddi i Dewi Sant yn 1907, i ddisodli eglwys haearn rhychiog a adeiladwyd yn 1878. Fe godwyd arian ar gyfer adeiladu’r eglwys drwy roddion cyhoeddus a digwyddiadau, yn fwyaf enwog y Grand Fete ym Miskin Manor, lle codwyd dros £1,000 o bunnoedd. Fe drwyddedwyd yr eglwys ar 23ain Rhagfyr 1907, ac fe’i chysegrwyd yn ddiweddarach gan y Gwir Barchedig Timothy Rees, Esgob Llandaf, ar ddydd Sul, 23ain Ebrill 1933. Un o brif nodweddion yr eglwys yw’r ffenestr liw prydferth sydd wedi’i hymroddi i’r teulu Rhys-Williams. Fe ddyluniwyd y tair ffenestr fwyaf diweddar gan Jessie Bayes, ffrind William Morris, gan ddilyn y traddodiad Cyn-raffaelaidd. Yn 2007, fe ddathlodd Dewi Sant ei chanmlwyddiant gyda sawl digwyddiad llwyddiannus, gan gynnwys Diwrnod Agored, sesiwn Canu Emynau wedi’i noddi, cystadleuaeth ffotograffig a gwasanaeth Carolau. Fe gynhyrchwyd dau lyfryn, un ynghylch hanes ac un arall ar hierarchaeth yr eglwys. LLEO Map
St Michael & all Angels Church, Beddau
18 Sep 12 - 4 One of three churches within the parish of Llantrisant (along with Llantrisant Parish Church and St David’s Church, Miskin) St. Michael's Church, or the Church of St. Michael and All Angels to give it its full title, was opened in 1936 and was initiated in the first instance by Lt. Colonel Sir Rhys-Williams and Lady Rhys-Williams of Miskin Manor. The building is most unusual, if not unique in appearance with what at the time was an ultra-modern design and an unconventional beauty all of its own. The tower sits unusually at the East end of the church rather than the traditional West end and is pierced with a cross. The only deviation from the church 'straight design' are two circular windows both of which incorporate the five pointed star of St. Michael to whom the church is dedicated. The church has white walls and blue draperies inside and both the design and colouring of it are intended to symbolise three things: namely the incarnation of Christ, the history of Mankind and the life of the individual. LOC Map
Eglwys Sant Mihangel & Holl Angylion, Beddau
18 Medi 12 – 4 Yn un o dair eglwys o fewn plwyf Llantrisant (ynghyd ag Eglwys Blwyf Llantrisant ac Eglwys Dewi Sant, Meisgyn), fe agorwyd Eglwys Sant Mihangel, neu Eglwys Sant Mihangel a’r Holl Angylion i roi ei theitl llawn iddi, yn 1936, ac fe’i hagorwyd i gychwyn gan yr Is-gyrnol Syr Rhys-Williams a’r Foneddiges Rhys-Williams o Miskin Manor. Mae’r adeilad yn anghyffredin iawn, os nad yn unigryw, o ran ei hymddangosiad, gyda beth oedd ar y pryd, yn ddyluniad modern iawn ac yn brydferthwch anghonfensiynol. Mae’r tŵr, yn anarferol, ar dalcen Dwyreiniol yr eglwys yn hytrach nag yn y pen Gorllewinol traddodiadol ac mae wedi’i dyllu â chroes. Yr unig wyriad o ‘ddyluniad syth’ yr eglwys yw dwy o ffenestri crwn, y ddwy yn cynnwys seren pum pigyn Sant Mihangel y mae’r eglwys wedi’i chysegru iddo. Mae gan yr eglwys waliau gwyn gyda dilladaeth glas, a bwriadwyd y byddai’r dyluniad a’i liwiau yn symbolau o dri pheth: yn benodol, ymgnawdoliad Crist, hanes Dynol Ryw a bywyd yr unigolyn. LLEO Map
