2019 is the Visit Wales ‘Year of Discovery’ – and to celebrate each month we’ll be looking at the hidden histories of our Welsh churches; stories from ancient and sacred spaces in the forgotten corners of rural Wales. For our first chapter we travel to Carmarthenshire, to St Oudoceus’ Church at Llandawke, to explore a 600-year old sculpture, made in local stone, discovered amid the moss and brambles in the churchyard, in 1838. This is the hidden history of a local woman who lived a life of holiness and did things differently – St Margaret of Marloes.
