  • The Church of St John the Evangelist, Edinburgh
    Decoration History The most notable feature is the 1816–1818 ceiling fan vault, Decoration & derived by William Burn from King Henry VII’s chapel in Westminster Abbey, and originally painted to look as if made of stone, although actually made of plaster and timber. Lighting scheme Likewise, the columns were also painted to look like stone, but are of cast iron, timber and plaster. From early on the walls were decorated with fine marble and other monuments. In the 1860s, alterations by Peddie & Kinnear and others began the current scheme of decorative glass, which, along with the dark oak of the panelling, pews and the reredos, (removed in 1974), gradually changed the aesthetic of the decoration from airy to mysterious. The ceiling of the apse was painted with gilded ribs and blue sky. In the 1950s, in an attempt to brighten up the space, the interior was painted a light grey colour, and floodlights introduced into the vaulted ceiling. These lights were augmented by pendant fittings with opaque glass.

The boundary between this MCA and MCA 17 (Outer Cardigan Bay) is consistent with a change from low energy sub-littoral sediment in the eastern part of this MCA to moderate/high energy sub-littoral sediment influencing MCA 17. The southern boundary is formed along a distinct break between marine sediments. The northern offshore boundary follows the limits of the Wales Inshore Marine Plan Area. The MCA encompasses all of the following Pembrokeshire local SCAs: 12: Strumble Head Deep Water; 14: Western Sand and Gravel Bars; 19: Bishops and Clerks; 28: West Open Sea; and 27: Grassholm and The Smalls. It also includes the western part of SCA 8: North Open Sea MCA 19 West Pembrokeshire Islands, Bars & Inshore Waters - Page 1 of 7 Key Characteristics Key Characteristics Varied offshore MCA with a large area of sea, ranging from 30-100m in depth on a gravelly sand seabed.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................
