Bryan of Crungoed, Radnorshire. The text below the scene reads 'Full of good works and almsdeeds' (Acts 9:36), referring to Dorcas (or Tabitha), although the image is resonant of the image of the good wife from Proverbs, and emphasises works of charity.  (ObjectID=5140 ImageID=9884) Original File Name=Montgomery_DSC0557_52A.jpg
