St David's Church

Brecon, United Kingdom

St. David's Church, or Llanfaes Church, consists of a chancel, nave, and a tower at the west end in which are six bells. In the aisle and chancel there used to be several stones to the memory of departed. There is a tablet in the church to the memory of the Rev. Theo. Evans, of Llangammarch, who afterwards became vicar of St. David's. This church was last restored in 1859, at a cost of £1,500, and contains a memorial window given by the late Colonel and Mrs. Church Pearce, in memory of their son. In 1808 three-quarters of an acre of land was consecrated for burial ground purposes by the Bishop of St. David's. The parish register dates from the year 1780.

Lovely church & ground... They new priest/clergy is at moment during summer providing breakfast club for the youngsters, also regular early evening club ( HANGOUTS, found on Facebk.) With various activities for them to do..My son enjoyed 1 such scavenger hunt. The best part is you dont have to be religious, and doesnt matter what religion you are, or background and makes you feel very welcome.

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III, who also reigned as king of Sweden and otherwise resided there, and is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch. The crown prince resides at Skaugum in Asker west of Oslo. The palace has 173 rooms.

Until the completion of the Royal Palace, Norwegian royalty resided in Paleet, the magnificent town house in Christiania that the wealthy merchant Bernt Anker bequeathed to the State in 1805 to be used as a royal residence. During the last years of the union with Denmark it was used by the viceroys of Norway, and in 1814 by the first king of independent Norway, Christian Frederick.
