Dear Listers,
As promised, I've copied below a list of the Grave IDs, burial year, and
names of those identified on the monuments that are due to be relocated in
the burial yard of Penuel Chapel in Bwlch, Breconshire. I have photographs
of the monuments marked ** (double asterisk).
The list below is a modified version of a list displayed at the entrance to
the chapel burial yard. Some of monuments are badly eroded, making the
inscriptions difficult or impossible to interpret. The 24 monuments to be
relocated comprise nineteen headstones and five other memorials. There is no
plan on display at the chapel giving the IDs and locations of the monuments.

In due course, I hope to put a selection of my photos on the Web, probably
as part of my online "Welsh Churches and Chapels Collection":
www.jlb2011.co.uk/walespic/churches/
Meanwhile, if anyone wants a copy of one of the gravestones identified with
** above, let me know (off list) and I'll be happy to send it as an email
attachment.
Incidentally, the chapel itself appears to have been sold to a private
developer - see:

Subject: Re: [POWYS] Penuel Chapel, Bwlch,Breconshire - Removal of
Headstones
Dear Listers,
The weather cleared up this afternoon, so I made the planned trip to Penuel
Chapel at Bwlch and took some photos. Tomorrow I'll post a list of the names
and burial year of each person interred in the graves whose headstones are
to be removed.
Kind regards,
John
