MILKWOOD GALLERY at 41 Lochaber Street is planning an exhibition for March next year to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day (8 March), celebrating the efforts of the women of during and just after the Second World War.

Anyone who is willing to be interviewed or who is willing to lend memorabilia of that period, please contact the Gallery [email protected] 20-473373 to arrange a suitable time. It may also be possible to arrange a social event for everyone to get together and share stories and memories at the gallery. NEW BOOK ABOUT CATHEDRAL . “” by Pat Aithie, Nick James, John Kenyon, and Nick Lambert (Seren £25) is the first new book to be published about Llandaff Cathedral for more than a century. The authors guide us through the history, architecture, art and heritage of the cathedral from Roman times to the twenty-first century. The building and its ornamentation include almost every style in that long period as it was developed through extension, refurbishment and redevelopment. The story includes resurrection from extensive bomb damage during the Second World War and the controversial Majestas by Epstein that made the cathedral national news in the sixties. Written for the general reader, the book is lavishly illustrated with plans, line drawings, archives and contemporary photographs. The research for the book has brought to light fascinating, never before seen images from the cathedral archive and elsewhere. ST DAVID’S CATHEDRAL has launched a Restoration Appeal for £150,000 to restore the shrine of Wales' patron saint. The shrine dates back to the 12th century and was an important destination for mediaeval pilgrims, but it was destroyed during the and has remained as it is now ever since. The restoration of the Shrine will return the relics of St David to their rightful place behind the high altar in the cathedral. It will also offer visitors and pilgrims an opportunity to pray at the Shrine and to give thanks to God for the example of St David. The appeal is being co-ordinated by the Friends of St Davids Cathedral, founded 70 years ago to support the work of the Dean and Chapter of the cathedral. It is hoped that the restoration will be completed by St. David’s Day 2012.

Many people are unaware of the biblical origins of common phrases in the English language, new research has found. A ComRes survey commissioned by the Bible Society found that almost half of the 2379 adults interviewed believed that the Bible was an important book that had valuable things to say, even though they did not read it often. But there was confusion when those polled were asked about the origin of phrases that come from the Bible. Only 19% of respondents were aware that “the writing on the wall” was a phrase used in the Bible, and 18% believed that it was a lyric by the Beatles. Just 10% of those interviewed knew that the phrase “filthy lucre” was biblical; almost a quarter of those polled thought that it came from Shakespeare. Only 9% recognised the phrase “eat, drink, and be merry” as coming from the biblical parable of the rich fool, while 12% of respondents thought the phrase “a drop in a bucket” (Isaiah 40.15) originated from Tony Blair. More than half of those polled (56%) were able to identify the phrase “my brother’s keeper” as coming from the Bible.

He’s being supported by Archbishop Barry, who is launching the scheme at a grand service today at Father Paul’s church, St Anne’s, Ynyshir.

It has been hugely successful – reaching out to an estimated 30,000 people over the years and establishing links between the Rhondda and professional musicians at Canterbury Cathedral.
