Just a thought! Do we have any members who attend or live near Pemnain Church (St Phillip St James)

Many thanks for the image; does that mean the church no longer exist

No it was demolished some years ago. The graveyard is looked after by St David`s church. Was there something specific that you were after.

Yes; an ancestor of my wife, namely William Davies, was a well-known sculptor from Caerphilly and I am attempting to make a record of his work.  See attached snippet dated Jan 24 1893

Hi Michelle

Thank you so much for the image of the church.  I'll see if St David's can help.
