St.Johns Church Memorial

St. John's, 1837-1869 then 1892-1970The first church erected in 1837 and consecrated on July 31st, 1838, and was a plain Gothic building, comprising a chancel and nave, with a western bell gable and a small west porch, the cost was £1,280.When the subsidence occurred, the church was closed and the services transferred to the schools in 1869, which also collapsed from the same subsidence. After the eastern portion of the church had fallen into ruin, the west was partitioned off for a mortuary chapel.A second church, dedicated to St. John, was built in 1892 on the site of the original church, specifically for the use of the Welsh-speaking population. Not surprisingly, because of the history of the site, this building became unsafe; and it was demolished sometime after 1974.

Very peaceful place.
