Caldey Island Book Launch

The launch for the book Ross worked on with author Chris Howells is going to be launch in Tenby Bookshop on July 26th from 3pm. We hope to see you all there.
Here is a little bit about it...

On the island of Caldey off the coast of Pembrokeshire, the Cistercian monks continue a tradition which began in the sixth century. Author Chris Howells and photographer Ross Grieve gained exclusive access to capture the daily life of this monastic order and the beauty of the island on which they live.This documentary book explores all aspects of life on Caldey Island – its abbey, people and wildlife. The Island is visited by over 60,000 people each summer and is part of Pembrokeshire National Park, the UK’s only national coastal park.The book features over 100 archive images and photographs of Caldey’s religious celebrations, tourism and history, and the everyday life of its islanders.

You can preorder on Amazon or meet us on the 26th for signings.
