My Secret Wales - Henllan

"In 1944, the Italian prisoners of War interned in Henllan, Ceredigion, turned one of their makeshift huts into an ornate Catholic Church, complete with hand painted frescoes and candlesticks fashioned from corn beef tins. Jo Conti, a Welsh-Italian designer from Lampeter, celebrated this remarkable feat of wartime ingenuity."
