The Association's 2004 conference focused mainly on the
architecture and archaeology of the medieval diocese of Llandaff,
comprising much of the historic counties of Glamorgan and
Monmouthshire. Contributors consider Roman and early medieval
south-east Wales, including surviving Christian monuments and the
early history of Cardiff. There is a detailed analysis of the c.
1200 wall-paintings at the priory church of Ewenny, where ambitious
decorative work replaced a hitherto unknown Romanesque scheme. The
early Gothic architecture of Llandaff Cathedral is shown to be
related to some of the great contemporary ecclesiastical works in
England and elsewhere, such as Glastonbury Abbey, and the unusual
form of the cloister arcade at Tintern Abbey is analysed. Other
papers cover the late Gothic architecture in south Wales, two
14th-century tomb monuments at Abergavenny, and a study of the
magnificent carpentry of a number of late medieval rood-screens
that survive in parish churches. The volume concludes with an
account of the evidence for post-medieval work in churches in the
diocese.
