EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pillar of Eliseg stands tall and proud in this 19th-century photograph, a testament to the rich history and heritage of Wales. Erected by Cyngen ap Cadell in honor of his great-grandfather Elisedd ap Gwylog, this ancient monument has stood the test of time, weathering the centuries with grace.
As we gaze upon this image captured by © Ken Welsh, we are transported back to a time when kings ruled over Powys and legends were born. The intricate carvings on the pillar tell stories of battles fought and victories won, reminding us of the resilience and strength of our ancestors.
Surrounded by the lush countryside near Valle Crucis Abbey, The Pillar of Eliseg is a symbol of Wales's enduring spirit and unwavering pride. Its weathered facade speaks volumes about the passage of time, yet it remains steadfast in its place as a beacon for all who seek to connect with their past.
In this snapshot from Welsh Pictures published in 1880, we catch a glimpse of history frozen in time. The worn columns stand as silent witnesses to generations long gone but not forgotten. Let us cherish these relics from our past and remember that they hold within them the stories that shape our present and future.
