Mae paentiadau wal mewn tai domestig yn brin a gallant aros yn gudd am ddegawdau – fel y goroesiad rhyfeddol yma a ddarganfuwyd a'i gofnodi gennym ni yn 2003, ym Manc Elwy yn Llanelwy #paentiadauwal #cofnodi #hanes

St Tanwg’s Church, Harlech – a tiny C13th chapel nestled in dunes, home to rare C5th–6th inscribed stones. A timeless place that feels as if it grew out of the land itself. #WorldArchitectureDay
