Historian to give talk on Llantysilio graveyard project

An illustrated talk by local historian David Crane about some of the fascinating discoveries that have been made during the Llantysilio graveyard project will be given at the Conquering Hero Community Centre in Rhewl on Tuesday December 5 at 7pm.

Llantysilio Church have been running a programme, funded by by the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB’s Sustainable Development Fund, to investigate the history of the church and the graveyard, and the stories of some of the people that are buried there. 

From the very poor to the very rich, the bizarre to the heroic, the stories reveal details of some of the fascinating people that have lived in our area over the centuries. 

David Crane said: "We will also be introducing the next phase of the programme, where we will be collecting stories and memories from as many people as possible about Llantysilio Church and the people and houses in the area.

"Come and discover some of the extraordinary tales of the people who have lived in Llantysilio over the years."

Entrance is free and refreshments will be provided.
