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.
I believe my great great grandfather was from this area ..........Charles Watts born 1827 ..........please could you verify.......either in Amroth, Crunwear , Marros or Eglwys Cymin . Contact Adeygrif@hotmail.com with info............thank you very much
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint but I have checked the Baptism register from around 1824 up to 1830 and there are no references to any Watts whatsoever.
