But they are surrounded by mysterious, medieval- looking hooded figures, perhaps cowled monks, one of whom appears to be radiating from his eyes red bolts of electricity. ‘Visitors from the past, perhaps usually invisible to the living’, suggests Andrew Lambirth in the exhibition catalogue.

Llanvihangel Crucorney bridge, 1795 Radio 4 Front Row (3/3/14), Iain Sinclair comments on Turner’s painting of Llanthony Priory as ‘fraudulent’ ie shows surrounding hills much higher and precipitous than they really are and ruin of Landor’s house with ‘cateracts’. An image for the tourist, like modern ‘ruin porn’. Comments from NMR record - Turner painted Llanthony in 1794 and SW sketches 1795 so visited Honddu Valley. Bridge in picture has two arches compared to one now - earlier bridge? What are mountains in background - Bryn Arw? But not flat-topped, river is wider than at present and more boulders, fisherman has salmon rod. Gable end behind bridge is The Mill. Indianapolis Museum of Art.
