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.
Interestingly,
1500 years ago the Abbot of Llantwit Major also had
a bishop to help him out! |
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.
