St.Barucs Chapel

St. Baruc’s Chapel.

Friars Road, Barry Island, Vale of Glamorgan, CF62 5TR.

 

St. Baruc is an important Celtic saint of Wales. There has been a place of worship dedicated to Baruc since his burial there around the year 700A.D. The name Barry is believed to be a corruption of Baruc and during the middle ages a pilgrimage to Baruc’s burial place was considered to be very important.  In fact 4 visits to Baruc were equal to 1 visit to Rome on the pilgrimage “league tables”.  Thus Barry Island became a very sacred Christian site. The view from its ruins towards Flat Holm and Steep Holm is beautiful on a clear day.

 Original £300. Please contact if you are interested in purchasing.
