« Last post by Hugo on Today at 12:12:38 pm »Yesterday, I paid a visit to my parents grave in the Llanrhos Lawn Cemetery and was surprised to see that the Cemetery was in need of tidying up. Whether the wet weather or CCBC cuts was to blame or perhaps a combination of both. Whatever the reason something needs to be done
Since my last visit there someone had left a small plaque there with some very poignant words on it and I did feel quite emotional reading the words
After paying my respects I walked through the old Churchyard and saw the grave of poor Betty and it was sad to read about her life
Poor Betty (d.1842)
Her epitaph reads: ?Here lyeth the body of poor Betty, who for upwards of 50 years was a houseless wandering maniac. Died Feb 1824.? Then in Welsh: ?Y mae gorphwysfa yn y Nefoedd.? (?There?s a resting place in Heaven.?) Local people clubbed together to save her from a paupers? grave.
I then went to have a look at St Mary's Well and then the old school of Llanrhos before returning back to my car and going home
