Churchyard Clearance Jan 2022

 

A great job has been done recently up at Crunwere Church (St Elidyr).
Four volunteers; Sue & Roy James, Alan Jones and Andy Dawe, have done an amazing job on the large churchyard. So much appreciation to them all for their hard work up there.
Photos thanks to Roy James.
This is an ongoing project to keep the yard clear and accessible, so if anyone is interested in coming along and adding to our Crunwere Church Yard team, then please email Roy.james1536@gmail.com

The old Bann's Book from 1869-1906 is rather fragile.
We have extracted the names and dates and it will be deposited at Haverfordwest R.O.

Crunwere Church, July 2016

 Visited the church on 27th July 2016.
No cows in field thank goodness but lots of cowpats.
When I reached the car park area found that the gate was broken and unmovable - could not even manage to squeeze through.
Was not going to give up so got in through the broken wooden fence on the north of the car park. The only protection to stop any cows is a single line of barbed wire.
Very sad to see the state of the church and lots of overgrown graves.

Only access to lower gate is through the broken fence.

  Trees and bushes growing up high



Path down to lower yard

Wall plaque

Vegetation


Steps down to lower yard

Overgrown graves inside fencing



Diverted fencing - at one time it went straight across the front of the graves
Stake holes still visible in graves as shown below.


Overgrown area north of church






Steps up from lower yard


South trancept - there is a window under that greenery

Path by porch - but inside the fencing

Car park area - like a lawn these days as cars cannot get in at all.
