What is recorded here
The Tower and Capel Beuno Shrine at Eglwys Beuno Sant Church, Clynnog is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps stone hands still catch rain there, dragging breath into chambers no longer drawn on any map. Maybe the tower was built to keep out what the shrine was built to hold. Imagine a man climbing through dark water, not to escape it but to teach it the shape of being seen.

The Tower and Capel Beuno Shrine are associated with Saint Beuno, a 7th-century Welsh monk and healer, and were likely built during the medieval period to house his relics. They are important as key religious and historical sites linked to early Christian devotion in north Wales.
