Description
St Cwyfan's Church, Cribinau, North Wales, UK
.....
Cribinau is a small tidal island off the south west coast of the isle of Anglesey in Wales between Porth China and Porth Cwyfan. The island is in Aberffraw Community, about 1.2 miles west of Aberffraw village.
The island can be reached on foot at low tide. It is notable for the 13th-century Church in Wales church of St Cwyfan, called in Welsh: eglwys bach y mor ("the little church in the sea") or simply Cwyfan
.....
St Cwyfan's church was in existence by 1254 and was enlarged in the 14th and 15th centuries. The building later fell into disrepair, and in the 19th century parts of the church were demolished. By 1891 the surviving part was roofless, so an appeal was launched which paid for the building of a new roof.[1] In about the 1970s all the windows were restored, but now the building is deteriorating again and a new restoration appeal has been launched.

Exquisite as always, David! I like the linear aspect of the clouds tending to draw one's eyes to the church, which I feel is quite symbolic! L/F FB
