A rather splendid Eistedfodd chair.
DO NOT scroll down if you are easily offended. This is a Sheela-na-gig - a stone carving of a woman displaying her genitals . . . This one was better preserved than most as it was hidden beneath the threshold of the church.
Mesolithic finds.
It is well worth visiting Cardiff Museum, which has some amazing examples of gold torcs like this, and other archaeology.
We reach the Romans.
Those Mortimers again. At least this possibly Celtic era head survived.
In case you can't read it (not very clear), this very expensive top-of-the-range toilet was kept locked away as the father of the house considered it unhygenic, and insisted that his family used the long drop toilet at the end of the garden instead . . . Originally it was thought that this was Kilvert's loo, but then paperwork proved otherwise.
The "separated shoes" bottom left were in fact Ox Shoes, which were fitted to cattle before they were taken to the London markets. The Drovers Roads which were used still exist.
A cheeky looking shepherd and some branding irons once used on sheep.
More heavy rain overnight last night and when I emptied a tub of weeds earlier, draining the water off into a watering can, I got a gallon of rainwater!
Enjoy your weekend.
