EDITORS COMMENTS
Porth-y-Twr Gatehouse and Bell Tower, St David's, Pembrokeshire, South Wales (circa 1910s) This evocative lantern slide captures the haunting beauty of Porth-y-Twr gatehouse and bell tower in St David's, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Dating back to the 12th century, this historic structure once formed part of the larger St David's Cathedral complex, which has been a place of pilgrimage and worship for over a thousand years. The gatehouse and bell tower stand proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, their once grandeur now tempered by the passage of time. The intricate stonework, with its ornate carvings and weathered steps, bears testament to the rich heritage and history of this sacred site. The headstones scattered around the base of the tower add a somber note to the scene, reminding us of the transience of life and the enduring power of faith. The bell tower, with its distinctive lantern at the top, still stands tall and proud, its peal once calling the faithful to prayer and worship. This image, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of simpler living and deeper spiritual connection. The ruins of Porth-y-Twr gatehouse and bell tower continue to draw visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at their historic beauty and to pay their respects to the patron saint of Wales, St David.
