MORGAN - Capel Y Babell, Cwmbwrla

[David morgan]

Have we any information on the identity of the person or people behind this initiative..This  be could be a breakthrough for those with relatives buried in the Babell graveyard
I had my grandparents headstone removed some years ago as the vandals were destroying surrounding headstones near to the main path

According to Walesonline web site this chapel graveyard has just been bought to prevent it from being developed:- https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/abandoned-graveyard-bought-man-prevent-14294380

I'm so glad Richard - what are your plans for it? I'm local and am watching with interest.

Brought up in the Babell I remember Gwyn Morgan well as a friend of my father. My friend John Williams remembers his mother Anice May singing in chapel with Rae.
I may be wrong but I think I heard that relations moved Gwyn and his wife from the babell graveyard to a private burial ground

I heard about this from Mary Claire Scott  from Maryland USA. She is  willing to come over and help with the clean up. If she does I'll come too all the way from......Bridgend.
