  4. I agree with Wanda I also like the top statue best, I like the overall clothing style all the way down to the boots...

    By some chance what are the stories behind these statues, like who do they repersent...important people?

  5. The top statue is James Rice Buckley, Vicar of Llandaff 1878-1924 and then Archdeacon of Llandaff 1913 - 1924.
    The second one is a war memorial to hose of Llandaf and the Cathederal School who died.

  8. I am very attracted to Llandaf, for no good reason. I have researched it a bit, and can still find no reason as to why it calls to me.

    Guess I'll just have to travel to Wales to find out for myself!
