Santes Tudful (Saint Tudful) Landmark for Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, UK Santes Tudful is an embodiment of her place-name Merthy Tydfil overlooking a major highway on the Anglos/Welsh border. Rahter than being remembered and sanctified because of her tragic murder in the 5th century, she is reborn in the 21st as a protective symbol of the town and former coal mining region which is undergoing dynamic regeneration as it switches to sustainable energy. Clad in protective armour of solar tiles and tri-bladed turbines she represents a victory over the forces of decay, entropy, consumption and waste that have denuded and depleted the surrounding landscape.
