EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from the Penrhyn tomb in Llandegai Church, located near the historic town of Bangor in North Wales, showcases a captivating scene of cherubs diligently splitting slate with hammers. The Penrhyn tomb, sculpted by renowned British artist Richard Westmacott, was commissioned for the first Lord and Lady Penrhyn, who were prominent figures in the development of the Welsh slate industry during the 19th century. The intricate bas-relief, carved from marble, reflects the industrial class's connection to the land and the labor-intensive quarrying process. The Penrhyn family's influence on the slate industry was significant, with their quarry in Bethesda being one of the largest and most productive in the region. The cherubs' depiction on the tomb symbolizes the industrious spirit of the workmen who toiled in the mines and quarries, contributing to the prosperity of the Penrhyn estate. This historical monument, situated in the picturesque Llandegai Church, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Caernarvonshire's industrial past. The cherubs' determined expression and their meticulous splitting of the stone evoke a sense of admiration for the hardworking people who played a crucial role in the region's development. The Penrhyn tomb, with its intricate carvings, continues to captivate visitors and historians, offering a glimpse into the past and the close connection between the people and the land.
