Our Lady and Jesus statue, Penrhys
Located at the southern edge of the village, at about 285 metres (c935 ft) above sea level. A nearby information board records that the area where Penrhys is now has a long and rich history. As a religious site dedicated to Our Lady Mary it was one of the most famous medieval pilgrimage sites. The shrine was used as a healing spring and was reputed to cure rheumatism and eye disorders. A statue of Mary nursing the infant Jesus marked the shrine site for many centuries, until the 1530s, the decade of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of King Henry VIII. On the orders of Thomas Cromwell, the King's chancellor, it was taken down to be publicly destroyed in London.
The statue seen here was carved from Portland Stone in the early 1950s using a design based on descriptions of the original recorded in medieval Welsh poetry. The Archbsishop of Cardiff blessed the statue on July 2nd 1953.

Statue, Our Lady of Penrhys
Erected in 1953 and carved from Portland stone, the modern statue of Our Lady of Penrhys looks out across the valley. For centuries Penrhys has attracted pilgrims; in mediaeval times a monastery and a holy well with a 'wonder-working' statue were situated nearby. At the dissolution of the monasteries the original statue was burned down.
