Re: Ebenezer, Chapel Street, Pontnewynydd.
Well Betsy, as you saw, there are a lot of graves there and a lot have
inscriptions.
When I first went there some years ago it was derelict, locked up, and
totally overgrown.
However, within the last few years it has been brought back into use, a
board put up with a new incumbent named, and a contact phone number which I
took down and have since lost.
There was obviously a concerted effort two (?) years ago to reclaim and
clean up the graveyard.
I wonder if someone in the area could pop up there, take down the contact
details and perhaps we can get some news. A project to list the MIs should
now be feasible and I would be prepared to go up there and help out for a
day or two as I know I have an interest in it.

I would also like to here an update on the Ebenezer Chapel. I was
there 3
years ago and it was almost all brambles. However the grave 2 relatives
buried near the back of the chapel was visible. I wonder how many other
relatives are buried there.
