Beam
Beam
This beam had a carved vine trail which was a popular motif seen within Welsh medieval church woodwork; Christ was represented by the grape vine and his followers were the branches. However, the carpenters of the period used the same imagery within some of the new houses of the period. This beam was from Gogerddan, near Aberystwyth and dates to the 15th cent? The estate was owned by the Pryse family from at least the fifteenth century: the family was descended from Gwaethfod, Lord of Cardigan in the eleventh century.
