Saturday’s meeting proved very popular. As usual the morning began with a Coffee Morning and an opportunity to look at the museum. Then we all assembled in the main hall to listen to this month’s Talk, which drew a large audience. Our speaker was Maggie Goodall and she is Volunteer Coordinator of the Friends of Friendless Churches, an organisation dedicated to the work of saving redundant (closed) historic places of worship in England and Wales from demolition, decay and unsympathetic conversion. Maggie introduced us to the work of the Friends of Friendless Churches, which cares for more than 60 buildings of architectural and historic importance across Wales and England. Examples of restoration work were shown and a look at Pembrokeshire churches which the Friends care for including nearby Castlemartin, Rhoscrowther and St Lawrence’s Gumfreston, which is currently under restoration.
Our next meeting is on Saturday March 1st when we will be celebrating St David’s Day with a Talk on ‘the Welsh Princes and the Evolution of Wales’.
