Stained and painted glass installed in 1991 in the 1100s AD Romanesque Chapelle Saint-Cado de Belz at Saint-Cado, Brittany, France, honours Saint Gildas, the 500s AD British early Christian founder of the Breton abbey of Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys, and friend of the Welsh missionary Saint Cado. Below a portrait of St Gildas, a horse draws a cart-load of the seaweed used locally as fertiliser. The chapel stands on the Île de Saint-Cado, the circular islet in Ria d’Étel, the River Étel estuary in South Morbihan that became Cado’s temporary home.

Saint-Cado, Brittany, France: The Work of the Land … beneath a portrait of Saint Gildas, the 6th century AD British early Christian founder of the Breton abbey of Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys, and friend of the Welsh missionary Saint Cado, a horse draws a cart-load of the seaweed used locally as fertiliser. This 1991 stained glass window can be found in the 12th century Romanesque Chapelle Saint-Cado de Belz on the Île de Saint-Cado, the circular islet in Ria d’Étel, the River Étel estuary in South Morbihan, that became Cado’s temporary home. He is also known as Cadoc the Wise, Cadog and Cadocus.
