Penrhys, Rhondda Page

When Penrhys is electronically surveyed, and
the ancient original Shrine delineated, who
knows what else might be found? Perhaps the
old monastery tunnels, or other treasures !

Only a modern stone statue and the little church
now remain, and - unlike Walsingham - which was
destroyed at the same time as Penrhys, and now
attracts great wealth and hundreds of thousands
of pilgrims & tourists each year in an ecumenical
triumph of the Spirit;- Penrhys still stands on
an unrealised tourism and wealth-generating
goldmine unparalleled in Wales !

But perhaps the long wait is over: the development
plans outlined at Mary's church (or Llanfair)
were refreshing - and very bold.

Penrhys Partnership have excelled themselves -
so much has been done - a Flying Start Scheme,
youth apprenticeships, old age provision, plus
so many other improvements it's difficult to
count them, never mind remember each one;
benches, with picnic tables, courses, shows...
the list is endless!

Soon we'll be able to be a much needed source
of pride to the whole Rhondda & Wales...

So many good people now, working hard for Penrhys
...and the future it deserves!
