It follows a deep, fault-guided, glacial valley and contains significant flood plain and estuary areas. The upper (southern-most) section has a strong sense of containment by rising land, especially from the steep wooded slopes of Snowdonia to the west, from which a number of small rivers issue down tumbling gorges.

  • We Will Remember Them...The Men From
    The War Memorial project began when I received a letter from Revd Melanie Fitzgerald, of St Mary’s, Sheffield. The Walkley History Group were restoring a window in the former Liberal Reform Club, now the Walkley Community centre. My Great Uncle, James Craven, was one of the club members who had been killed in WWI and who had been commemorated in the window. My family had photographs of James which allowed the team to restore his picture in the window, which was rededicated on 4th August 2014, a hundred years after the outbreak of World War I. The restored photograph of James Craven in the Walkley Community Centre Memorial window. The Walkley historians were the inspiration for our research in Eglwysbach and Llansantffraid Glan Conwy Each Remembrance Sunday we stand beside the Memorial at the gates of St Martin’s Church whilst the names of the Eglwysbach war dead are read aloud. I have always found this a very moving ceremony, but in reality we no longer know about these men. Melanie had succeeded in tracing me through three generations of women, all of whom had married and changed their surname. Her determination in tracing James’ descendants inspired me to look at the men from our villages in order that they also can be remembered as people, not just as a list of names. 1 Our starting point was the St. Martin’s Memorial, which lists the names of twenty two men who died in the First World War, their Regiment and residence.
