Love at first sight
He's got exactly the same photo, and I remember standing watching him take it as the sun shone through the ruins and thinking to myself I'm not sure which I love more, him or the Abbeys we visit together. Tintern will always feel like our special place.

Raglan - Castle Street
My childhood memories of Raglan are indelible in my mind. I lived with my Aunt and Uncle (Bessie and Ernie Morgan) at No 3 Castle Street during the war years. I well remember my first day at school, sitting on the obelisk at the junction of Chepstow Road, being chased by the geese down the Chepstow Road, 'helping' my uncle pump the organ, the harvest festivals, Roy Silverthorne's voice resounding around the church, sergeant Needs and his alsation, the brook, the castle, the wonderful smell of Mrs Hook's and the Powells bakery, Rhwylas farm, which is totally responsible for my love of dairy farming (although I was born 17 miles out of London). So it was through Rhwylas farm ...read more here

Round House
My Father Henry (Jim) Griffiths lived with his eight brothers and sisters in the Round house, which I think was up the ally next to the Postoffice. His mother was Alice Griffiths, she brought up all these children on her own. I wonder if anyone has a photo of the round house?

Extracts From Trelleck & Gwent books
The small village of Trelleck on the Chepstow to Monmouth road is often remarked
upon for having such a large church. The reason for this is that at one point in its
history, Trelleck was arguably the second largest town in Wales; but by 1700 the
population had shrunk considerably. Extensive archaeological digs in recent years
by the local university staff and students should throw more light on the history of
Trelleck. The church is noted for the height of its tower and spire, which can be seen
for miles around.
An extract from from"Grimsby - A History and Celebration".
The three sides of the sundial, which was erected in 1689, represent
the notable features of Trelleck. These are the Virtuous Well, the
Tump Terett and on the side seen here, the victory of King Harold.
This is represented by the standing stones, which were mistakenly
believed to have been a memorial to that victory. Each stone displays
a record of its actual height, and underneath are the words `hic fuit
victor Haraldus`.
