ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the various stages of that making process, including the active relationship that burgeoned between the project research team and the makers, and the ultimate evaluation of objects in terms of their fitness for purpose. It considers the impact of the various items on those who used them or witnessed them being used, including the manner in which such material objects can begin to feel 'sanctified'. The church of St Teilo already possessed a number of artefacts when the research team began planning the ritual enactments. Many were based on historical survivals of Welsh provenance, some shaped using materials and manufacturing techniques as similar as possible to their late medieval counterpart. The largest and most significant item was the Goetze and Gwynn organ. There were then two sets of vestments, a choir lectern, reredos painting, and memorial floor brass, and a series of much smaller objects: two pyxes, an incense boat and spoon, earthenware cruets and a Pax-board.
