Perhaps a look at the white marble font again may help?

The Presbyterian Church of Wales, Peniel, Trefriw,  maybe?   Z**

From your walk to Ardda, area?

Good thinking Yorkie and it was after one of the walks I did, it was in a valley,  but not in the Conwy Valley.     $walesflag$

OK I'll let you out of your misery and tell you that it is in St John the Evangelist Church in Barmouth.  This is a copy of a Copenhagen Font and another is in St Hiles Church in Edinburgh.

Hope I'm right or I'll feel a bit of a twit!   _))*

You said it Yorkie, you're just not paying attention.        $smack$
You've said that answer before and I said that It's further east and much nearer the three towns. 
It's also east of Conwy Valley too and here's a photo of the back of the Church that should give it away.      $walesflag$

Well if there is another then there are two in wales and not the one that they say are copies of the original.  Even the photograph looks the same.  I now give up.   If there were only one then fair play!

Wow Yorkie, you have been busy but if you look again then they are two different angels.

You need to be back in the Vale of Clwyd to see this White marble Angel Font.     $walesflag$

I've been past the Church many times as it isn't that far from the A55 but never been in it before.

If I was a betting man Yorkie then I'd back you to get this answer.       $walesflag$       $welsh$


Just seen that Gwynant is on line so I'm not too sure who to back now.       ???      $walesflag$

Ha! No jet lag yet Hugo which should be a clue to the next quiz question.
What is being built under this dome?

A rough guess at Burj Dubai, where they are trying to get the number of cranes on site into the Guinness Book of Records.  ZXZ

No, it isn't in Dubai. It has an association with Paris but it is not in France.

I will have two guesses, either the Mid Field Terminal Development (unlikely) or Khalifa Port, both Abu Dhabi.    Z**


Love all the Tower Cranes as I was in the business for 30 odd years!   ZXZ
