Gravestones at Old Chapel?

The original Mountain Chapel seems to have been operating from about 1814 to 1889.
Hugh James cannot recall any gravestones at the old chapel but there have been local rumours of a stone from there, with inscription (possibly taken with chapel stones for building work) being at Bevlin.
However the then owners (Collinsons) were asked and they couldn't recall seeing anything like that there.
So where the stone has gone to is now a mystery - and are there others anywhere??

Revised Village Leaflet

New village leaflets are about to be received from PLANED- they will be available from the History Group plus the Garage and other local businesses.

They are not much altered from the 1990s version but are in larger type and brought up to date about the chapel closures etc.

If any business wishes to stock them please get in touch.
