Memorial to Dr Joseph Parry and his widow, Jane, in St Augustine’s Church, Penarth. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6681057/joseph-parry Professor of Music at the University of Wales during the 1870s, perhaps Parry’s best known work is the poignant love song, Myfanwy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myfanwy I chanced upon this memorial while wandering through St Augustine’s churchyard just three weeks after hearing Myfanwy at the funeral of a very close friend. A moving moment! The following link takes you to Bryn Terfel’s rendition: https://open.spotify.com/track/4dqG5CsiZJ9zofmqeYucaq?si=slKyOiLrRP6Lwo733mNGVQ
