The Church
The fine church of St.Catwg's is mentioned by famous `Tramp Poet' W. H. Davies in his "Poet's Pilgrimage". Passing through Cadoxton, on his way to Aberdulais, Davies was overcome by his unexpected discovery in the churchyard of the large gravestone recording the "SAVAGE MURDER" of one Margaret Williams in 1822 and promising its unknown perpetrator a "TERRIBLE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT"

Famous quotes containing the word church:
“Midnight has come and the great Christ Church bell
And many a lesser bell sound through the room;
And it is All Souls’ Night.
And two long glasses brimmed with muscatel
Bubble upon the table. A ghost may come;
For it is a ghost’s right....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The Tories in England had long imagined that they were enthusiastic about the monarchy, the church and beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about rent.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
