Crunwere Church, Llanteg

Just heard unofficially that our church is now classed as unsafe.
The electricity has been turned off and shortly it will be cordoned off - but still allowing access to most of the graves.

Therefore there will be no more services there - a sad end to such an old building.


Its fortunate that we are recording the graves and taking photographs as who knows what might happen if the tower fell.

  2. Sorry to disappoint but I have checked the Baptism register from around 1824 up to 1830 and there are no references to any Watts whatsoever.

  4. Hi - hope you are happy to share any Llanteg related info for your family as we are always interested to find out more.

    I have checked through copies I have of the baptism register for Crunwere Church from 1813-1872 and have found the following:

    15/5/1814 - Thomas son of Griffith and Elizabeth Wilkin - Crunwear Bush (a disappeared property), servant

    14/4/1820 - WIlliam son of above, Brimmy Lake (now called Broomylake), mason

    12/2/1823 - Henry, son of above, Crunwear Bush, mason (copy of page attached)


    28/8/1825 - Mary, dau of above, Crunwear Bush, mason

    20/7/1828 - James, son of above, Crunwear Bush, mason

    1/10/1831 - Jane, dau of above, Crunwear Bush, mason

    19/8/1833 - Charles, son of above, Crunwear Bush, mason

    23/8/1838 - Eliza, dau of above, Crunwear Bush, mason

    Maybe connected - could be the Mary born in 1825?:

    24/12/1853 Eliza, dau of Mary Wilkins, Den (disappeared property) single woman

    18/1/1860 - Cecilia (?), dau of Mary Wilkins, Den, single woman.
