Only a small part of the original building remains. |

| rustyruth Posts: 18775 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 18:05 on 19th December 2014 I'm wondering if I shouldn't be crossing the border into Wales, or the border back out of Wales, being as I was at St. Asaphs  |

The way the cathedral is built it appears to be below ground when viewed from the village centre. |

St David's it is Ruth Status as a city ...... but it is a very small village ........ hence my reference to disparity ..... population around 2000 can't find the number but David Swann has the picture we all commented on that gives a very brief but succinct history

I think I've read the history of nearly every cathedral in England and Wales, not bad for a non-religious person. Good job I like the history of the buildings. Excellent quizzy Dave. My thinking cap is on now |

| rustyruth Posts: 18775 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 22:21 on 19th December 2014 Yes it was a long one. I did find David's picture. I'm still thinking |
| rustyruth Posts: 18775 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 12:33 on 20th December 2014 OK let's give this a go. I suspect it won't last too long. What connects these three places. Surrey, Malta and Morocco. |
That does not sound like good news
