Village Leaflets

Just received the new leaflets today.

These will be given to all members of the society and also be free to take at the Hall and also the Garage - plus other local businesses.

You can always get copies off me too if you wish.

They've not changed much from the original publication but will be of more interest to those who are new to the area or who didn't see the first leaflets in the 1990s.

Extract from the leaflet taken from copyright PLANED.

Llanteg's 'Roman Road'

The thick red line roughly shows where the old road used to go through the village from west to east. As you can see the 'new' A477 cuts a much straighter course.

(The red circle on the map is the location of the old school gardens - mentioned here elsewhere.)

This may not be an offical Roman Road but was always called that by locals.

It was once the main route through Llanteg before the Turnpike Road came in the 1830s, later to become the A477, which cut through the parish.

It went from Trenewydd Lane in the west, behind Middleton, Blackheath and Crofty. It then looped south (behind the Hall), crossing the new A477 and going behind Brongwendrath (little bungalow by side of road) continuing on until it looped back again just behind the Garage. Crossing the A477 again to became the Church Lane - which passed the field containing the church and continued on past an old property called Oxford and then left the parish - near Castle Ely.

As you can see the section behind the Hall, shown above, is now an impenetrable tangle of brambles. Once it was easily walkable (its still an official footpath) - although the path was blocked up nearer the Trenewydd end.

Old Gate Post?

This old stone pillar is probably an old gate post - spotted in the Church Lane near The Meadow.

Crunwere Church Approach

The Church That Time Forgot!

Not so much find the church - more find the sign!!

The approach from Crunwere Lane into the church field.

The sign is hiding in the bushes on the right.

Here it is again among the brambles - thought it had been taken down at first!

Another view across the field.

The smooth lane to the church - better condition now that it was when the church was open.

View from Church Lane - south across the A477 past Myrtle Villa and over Marros Mountain.

Another lovely view over Marros Mountain

The Laurel's Mountain

These stiles are at either side of The Laurel's Mountain - the short cut that the Victorian (and later) children used to get to Crunwere School

The stile by the old school (Sea Breeze)

Stile by old school again

Aerial Photo at Village Hall

The above is a photograph of the aerial picture bought for the Village Hall by the History Society in 2003 (this was purchased with Lottery Funding - together with a large map of the parish).

The photograph has now been reframed and is hanging in the Hall.

The map is currently being reframed and covered in perspex - after it managed to get covered in someone's grubby fingerprints and left lying around after the first week it was put up.

Mountain Chapel - Tidier Yard

Some ivy on the walls but I think that adds character!

Pretty picture of the pumps through the foliage

Tidy yard

Tidy paths too

A big thank-you to Mike Abel for doing such a good job - even with a bad wrist.

Old School Garden - Location

Old School Garden marked in red - take the lower road (south of A477 and turn down by the row of four houses (used to be our Council Houses).

This was a field set aside for villager's recreation when the school was built in the 1870s.

Grass neatly cut (by John James today I believe)

Work Still Needing Doing at Mountain Chapel

Now the inside of the yard and chapel are being tidied we might have to see about getting a working party together to tidy up around the walls and hedges and also weed along the path surrounding the chapel.

We want to get it looking really nice before the unveiling ceremony in (possibly) September.

If anyone can help at all or feels like doing a bit of weeding when they visit please feel free to do so, or get in touch with Ruth.

Grass Cut in Mountain Chapel Yard

Grass nicely cut but we need to see about round the edges.
