The Rectorial Benefice of Llantwit Major |
|||
| There always seems
to be something going on in the Benefice and the
diary is full of regular events which include everyone
from babies to great grandparents! |

Visitors are always welcome in the Benefice and one of our most famous was the Archbishop of Canterbury. On 26th May 1972 a one-day clergy conference was held in St Illtud's, Llantwit Major and Dr Michael Ramsey is seen here walking into the church with the late Rev'd John Dilwyn Llewellyn Jones. In the year 2000 we celebrated 1500 years of Christianity in Llantwit Major with a visit from the then Archbishop of Wales, Rowan Williams, who went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury. |

After
his retirement as Bishop of South West Tanganyika and
on his return to Wales in
1974, Bishop John Poole Hughes wanted to assist
generally in the work of the Llandaff diocese. He
especially requested
that he be able to work in the capacity of a curate where
he was needed. So he came to Llantwit Major! Shortly
after this he became Bishop of Llandaff. |
