St Mary's Church

Bridgend, United Kingdom

St Mary's Church is dated mainly to the 14th century, though significant alterations were added in the 16th century. The tower dates to the latter period. The church was extensively renovated by J. Pritchard and J.P. Seddon in 1860. The eastern stained class windows were added by Morris & Co. P.S. Webb was responsible for the patterns while the figures are the work of P.P. Marshall. Among the depictions on these windows are Christ saving Peter from drowning in the sea, Christ miraculously curing a woman, and Thomas the Doubter. The octagonal font dates to the 19th century, while the pulpit was installed in 1942.

Easy access to the main entrance to pedestrians and cars but limited parking at the front.There is a very vast parking at left to the church. Small shops nearby and a money machine opposite .traffic is mostly fair.

Heavenly moments. I often go to this church for attending holy mass usually on Sundays. 2 masses on Sunday 11 am and 6 pm but needs to be booked in advance before Friday 4 pm. Church is maintaining covid protocol like social distance, disinfecting the place after each holy mass. We should wear mask and do hand rub before entering the church. I love this place .

Until last Thursday it had been three years since I last visited St. Mary and while on this occasion I was only dropping something off at the Priest's House I was reminded of how lovely this modern built, yet traditionally designed, Catholic Church is. A pleasure to see such a great building representing the glory of God in the midst of his people.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
