This impressive church in the very centre of Cardiff is well worth a visit. It features a selection of memorials that I would like to share.

:thumbsup:

On some Saturdays (possibly only in the summer) you can go up the church tower of St John's and get amazing views of the Cardiff landscape and, on occasions, the bell ringers give demonstrations.

Snap Bernard!

How ever I have used the united services mess near by. That is very easy to miss.

KB, When in Cardiff did you find the Welsh rugby union memorial?

Apart from an interesting church with a number of war memorials, I've just remembered, there is also a very reasonable cafe upstairs in the old Vestry of the church, it's called the Tea sPot - very good bacon rolls - and is open Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm. It is run by volunteers and in partnership with Innovate Trust. The cafe will be closed 20 December 2014 to 5 January 2015.

There is bell ringing on Sundays 9.15-1oam and 5-6pm.

I'm told that the Welsh Rugby Union Memorial is inside the Millennium Stadium.

Tours are available via this link: http://www.millenniumstadium.com/tours/index.php. I, too must take another tour so that I can see the Memorial.
