-In this programme,

-we meet Enid Jones.

0:00:370:00:40

-She has had a close link

-with this church for many years.

0:00:400:00:46

-We'll also have performances

-from Sian James...

0:00:470:00:51

-..and Steffan Prys Roberts.

0:00:510:00:53

-The singing comes from Seion Chapel,

-Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant...

0:00:560:01:00

-..a few miles from here.

0:01:000:01:02

-Iona Jones conducts,

-and the organist is Eirlys Richards.

0:01:020:01:06

-The first hymn is...

0:01:060:01:07

-.."O llefara, addfwyn Iesu,

-mae dy eiriau fel y gwin."

0:01:070:01:10

-I'm joined now by Enid Jones.

0:03:440:03:46

-How did Melangell become a saint?

-Wasn't she from Ireland originally?

0:03:460:03:52

-The story goes

-that she fled from Ireland.

0:03:520:03:56

-I understand

-that her father was a king...

0:03:560:03:59

-..and wanted her

-to marry a certain prince.

0:04:000:04:02

-She fled from Ireland

-and came here to Pennant Melangell.

0:04:030:04:09

-She lived here among the animals.

0:04:090:04:12

-Brochwel, the prince of Powys, came

-to the valley to hunt with his dogs.

0:04:120:04:18

-He came across Melangell.

0:04:180:04:21

-A hare was seeking refuge

-beneath her cloak.

0:04:210:04:26

-She told him her story...

0:04:260:04:29

-..and he was moved by it.

0:04:290:04:33

-He gave her this valley...

0:04:330:04:35

-..so that she could live here

-among the wild animals.

0:04:350:04:38

-She referred to the wild animals

-as Melangell's lineage.

0:04:390:04:43

-That's how the church got its name.

0:04:430:04:47

-After Saint Melangell.

0:04:480:04:49

-Can I ask how you feel when you come

-to this special location?

0:04:500:04:54

-It's like being in another world.

0:04:550:04:58

-A group of us

-used to come here to clean...

0:04:580:05:01

-..before it was restored.

0:05:010:05:03

-It was only used

-about four times a year.

0:05:030:05:06

-Local churches came here

-on Sundays during the summer.

0:05:070:05:11

-When I got home to Llangynog...

0:05:110:05:13

-..I felt as if I'd been

-to another world.

0:05:130:05:17

-I felt sleepy,

-and not because I'd worked too hard.

0:05:170:05:21

-I've said that many times

-to a few people.

0:05:210:05:24

-Next, a performance

-of one of Ann Griffiths's hymns.

0:08:030:08:06

-Here's Sian James.

0:08:060:08:08

-# Wele'n sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd

0:08:170:08:23

-# Wrthrych teilwng o'm holl fryd

0:08:560:09:03

0:09:040:09:12

0:09:130:09:22

-# Rhosyn Saron yw ei enw

0:09:280:09:35

-# Gwyn a gwridog, teg o bryd

0:09:360:09:42

-# Ar ddeng mil y mae'n rhagori

0:09:440:09:50

-# O wrthrychau penna'r byd

0:09:510:09:58

0:11:310:11:40

0:11:420:11:55

-The next hymn, by Emrys...

0:12:060:12:08

-..is very appropriate for a place

-of pilgrimage such as this.

0:12:080:12:12

-"Arglwydd, gad im dawel orffwys

-Dan gysgodau'r palmwydd clyd

0:12:120:12:17

-"Lle yr eistedd pererinion

-Ar eu ffordd i'r nefol fyd."

0:12:170:12:21

-You also have

-the Saint Melangell Centre here.

0:14:560:15:00

-Who comes here, and why?

0:15:000:15:02

-The centre was set up

-by the Reverend Evelyn Davies...

0:15:020:15:07

-..back in 1988...

0:15:080:15:09

-..when she and her husband

0:15:100:15:13

-It was known then

-as the Cancer Help Centre.

0:15:140:15:17

-It worked under the auspices

-of the Bristol Cancer Help Centre.

0:15:170:15:22

-counselled people in the house.

0:15:230:15:29

-The centre itself was built later.

0:15:290:15:33

-The purpose of the centre...

0:15:340:15:37

-..is to offer counselling

-to people with various illnesses...

0:15:370:15:42

-..health problems

-and other problems.

0:15:420:15:45

-This location

0:15:520:15:55

-You only have to look

-at the visitors' book.

0:15:550:15:59

0:16:000:16:02

0:16:020:16:06

-..to visit this ancient church.
