I found myself by a little church in Meline, over the border from me in Pembrokeshire. It’s dedicated to Saint Dogmael or Dogfael. Rebuilt in Victorian gothic style on the site of an earlier church, of which only one wall remains with a blocked up doorway.

It has a window featuring the Star of David. Apparently a Jewish family was given permission to worship in the church on Saturdays and they donated the window in thanks. If only there could be religious tolerance always.

Photo of a small gothic style church with a bell tower above a big rose window. The view is taken from a footpath beside the church, separated from the grounds by a snowdrop covered hedgebank. Bare branches of trees crisscross over the frame.

Photo of part of the grey stone north wall of the church showing a blocked up arched doorway. Crude stone head carvings can be made out on either side of the arch.

Close up of one of the carved heads. It is of reddish stone with a simple face - eyes, nose and a straight line for a mouth. The stone is mottled with grey and green lichens.
