There's been a religious site here since the C6th. If you're travelling to the West Country from Pembrokeshire (or vice versa) - there's an urban sprawl to negotiate around Cardiff - instead of hurtling through - stop off at Llandaff - you won't regret it. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-12-at-14.27.50.png) During my visit I bump into [Christine Kinsey](https://www.christinekinsey.com/?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) at the Cathedral and she recommends a small place called Porro for a bite to eat in the centre of Llandaff - a fusion of Welsh and Italian food. "*Diolch Mille*", I say after paying my bill. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-92.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-91.jpg) I visit the cathedral during the day and in the evening (I attend evensong which is highly recommended). I'm caught between the daylight views contrasted against the evening tungsten glow. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4276.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-93-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-96.jpg) The west door has the feel of age, but I notice clues as to a C20th influence. Looking closer, I can see butterfly dove-tails along the panels of the door. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-3.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-4.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-5.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-7.jpg) I've seen them before - they're the mark of an architect called George Pace. They are both functional and beautiful at the same time. What marks [George Pace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FPace?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) out from many others is his bravery and honesty in representing his own times through his designs which were underpinned by a devotion to detail and craft. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-9.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-8.jpg) ### The Majestas In January 1941 a parachute bomb badly damaged the nave at Llandaff. George Pace was commissioned to re-build and re-invigorate the interior. His design focused around creating a new pulpitum. His words: > *Mystery should be veiled and vista should open upon vista; from the moment of entering the Cathedral the journey to the High Altar should be by subtly designed stages.* For me, the wishbone design is magnificent. It speaks of the mid-C20th with it's focus on space travel, transport and concrete. It is honest in its representation. It isn't just a cheap piece of concrete casting - it has been carefully designed and is a functioning part of the organ. The Christ figure is 16ft high and was designed by [Jacob Epstein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%5FEpstein?ref=digest.andymarshall.co). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-40-1.jpg) --- **Comperandum** \- compare the Epstein Christ with the Sutherland Christ at Coventry. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-44.jpg) Epstein Christ ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Coventry-Cathedral6.jpg) Christ in Majesty at Coventry Cathedral by David Sutherland. --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-48.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-81.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-87.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-45.jpg) Below: A robin on the altar rail - designed by George Pace (the altar rail). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-50.jpg) Below: Looking through the Norman arch into the Lady Chapel of 1280\. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-51-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-54.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-83-1.jpg) The C13th tomb of William de Braose, Bishop of Llandaff ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-84.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-56.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-65.jpg) **The Marshall Panel** The panel was part of bishop John Marshall's (not a relation) episcopal throne and is a remarkable survival of medieval painting from the C15th. It depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven on her death. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4215.jpeg) The ribboned latin inscription makes a slant reference to the bishop, it says: ' *O Virgin who ascends in state, open to Marshall heaven's gate'.* Below: Came across this lovely chair - Bishop's Seat? Cathedra? I was struck by the finials, of which, the hare was a portent for my visit to St. Melangell. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-78.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-72.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-73.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-74.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-75.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/Landaff-77.jpg) ### George Pace **Pace was such a remarkable architect (one comes along like Pace every hundred years or so). For me he was an architect who managed to create something new out of the past that didn't jar with it.** When I was starting out as a photographer of architecture, I had an insatiable desire to study the architectural styles. I read that Gothic was sectioned off into periods called the Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular. Each style was extruded from the other. Gothic reached its zenith in the C15th, and it wasn't until I came across George Pace's interpretation of the Gothic style, that I realised I was seeing a new strand of Gothic architecture. Quite remarkable. No other architect has managed to do that. From the C15th, the only stepping stone between Perpendicular Gothic and Pace Gothic was Strawberry Hill Gothik. Pace is an inspiration for all creatives. Take Pace's gates, screens and rails - they're obviously modern and so obviously Gothic - but not a pastiche Gothic. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4202.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/461612788_3be5e86595_o.jpg) A little sketch I made of a Pace altar rail at Beverley. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_2845.jpeg) Pace's altar rail at St. Mary, Beverley ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4203-1.jpeg) Llandaff His lights are of such a modern design but pull off the trick of nodding to the Gothic style. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4108.jpeg) His St. David's Chapel in Llandaff is an example of a style that incorporates the Arts and Crafts philosophy of total design. Pace designed the building, the furniture and the typography. All in his new Gothic style. ### St. David's Chapel. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4124.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4117.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4119.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4126.jpeg) ### Typography Pace developed his own typography. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4125.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4128.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4130.jpeg) Below: Recognise the style here from St. David's Chapel? ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/2023/01/IMG_4127.jpeg) Here it is at Bede's resting place at Durham Cathedral.

It set me off on a long journey of photographing George Pace buildings.
