  • Brecon Cathedral Website
    Brecon Cathedral Website: http://www.breconcathedral.org.uk/ Brecon Cathedral; 5th- 12th August 2015. Capacity: 12 campers. Brecon Cathedral has a long-standing relationship with CSV Heritage Camps, having hosted a camp every year except one, since 2009. As a Cathedral, they love having the Campers around as they do a fantastic job with enthusiasm and attention to detail, and their hard work is for all to see. The Cathedral was, until the establishment of the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon in 1923, the Parish Church of St John the Evangelist. A Norman Benedictine Priory was founded on the site in 1093 and this became the Parish Church in the 16th century at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries. Because of the nature and type of its location it is thought that the Norman Priory might have been built on the site of an older, possibly Celtic, Church. • The local area Brecon or as it is known in Welsh 'Aberhonddu' (meaning mouth of the Honddu) is a traditional Mid Wales market town nestling in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park in the County of Powys. This magical spot at the confluence of two rivers, the Usk and the Honddu has always been a popular destination, offering visitors spectacular scenery and leisure activities. Brecon remains first and foremost a traditional Mid Wales market town; Brecon Market is an indoor market with 20 stalls - as you will see on any Tuesday or Friday! Brecon has numerous attractions for when campers have time off, including 37 miles of canal, where you can walk or hire a kayak, or you could visit the National Park.

He discovered who her parents were and, after obtaining their permission, he arranged sittings to make preliminary sketches of this young lady. Mr. Attwood was one of the most sought-after sculptors in Carrara marble, which comes from Tuscany in Italy; and so he chose a block of marble which was just the right size, and began to create his Madonna.
