Final Resting Places Mannau Gorffwys Olaf GLAMORGAN Family History Society Cymdeithas Hanes Teuluol Morgannwg Final Resting Places Mannau Gorffwys Olaf This booklet lists over 300 paces in Glamorgan where your ancestors might be buried. SECTION ONE: Municipal Cemeteries and Crematoria. SECTION TWO: Churches and Chapel yards recorded by Glamorgan FHS (up to 2014) 1 FINAL RESTING PLACES IN GLAMORGAN A frequently asked question is “Where were our ancestors buried?” This booklet tries to point you in the right direction with over 300 burial grounds listed. For ancestors dying in the 18th and early 19th centuries the first place to look is the church, which was then the centre of the village community. The Glamorgan Family History Society (GFHS) has now recorded and indexed almost all of the gravestones in the ancient (pre 1813) churches, and the burial registers have been indexed for 90% of the churches. Only a small number of people had a headstone but it is always worth looking because if found, they might record other members of the family who died out of the area. The smallest churchyard we have recorded had 9 stones and the largest nearly 4000. With the growth of nonconformity and increase in the population the search becomes more difficult. Hundreds of chapels were built in Glamorgan many with burial grounds. If no burial ground was attached to the chapel, bodies may have been buried in the Anglican churchyard or may have been transported many miles to a burial ground of the deceased's denomination. As people moved to the urban areas, new churches were built but many of these had no burial ground, through shortage of land, and so people were buried in public cemeteries. Various Burial Acts after 1853 authorised local authorities to build and maintain cemeteries. Cathays Cemetery in Cardiff was the first in Glamorgan and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Most cemeteries and crematoria are administered by the new unitary authorities, but some are still maintained by community or town councils. In some cases a charge is made for viewing or for staff to search the cemetery burial registers. A specific appointment for viewing may be necessary, in some cases the Sexton may be the only person who can show you the position of the grave, and he does have other duties to perform. Many old records are being computerised - depending on finances and staff. It is always worth enquiring if this is being done. We have added this information where known. Over the years there have been many boundary changes. Before 1974 Glamorgan was one County, but the Local Government Act of 1972 divided it into Mid, South and West Glamorgan. The last boundary changes in 1996 again changed the face of Glamorgan and replaced the three old counties with 8 unitary authorities. Although all the information in this book is for Glamorgan, for ease of accessing the cemeteries in particular, the sections have been divided into the new unitary authorities. 2 SECTION ONE: The 8 Unitary Authorities are:- 1. Bridgend County Borough Council 2. Caerphilly County Borough Council 3. City and County of Cardiff 4. Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council 5. Neath and Port Talbot County Borough Council 6. Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council 7. City and County of Swansea 8. Vale of Glamorgan County Borough Council Under each authority is listed the cemeteries and crematoria with the date of opening and a contact details. Most councils now charge for searches although some also have online indexes, eg Barry Town Council. The approximate of death should be discovered before contacting the Councils from websites such as www.freebmd.org.uk. The date the Cemetery or Crematorium opened is given in the following lists together with whether the cemetery is included in our Memorial Inscription (Municipal Cemeteries) Master Index - shown with the letters MIMI. Many Councils have downloadable plans of the cemeteries on their websites. 3 (1) BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL BCBC is responsible for eleven cemeteries and three churchyards as follows: BETTWS CHURCHYARD 1894 St David’s Church Bettws Road BETTWS, CF32 8TB Monuments indexed by GFHS BLAEN OGWR CEMETERY 1888 MIMI Park Street NANTYMOEL CF32 7SH BRIDGEND CEMETERY 1894 MIMI Cemetery Road BRIDGEND CF31 1YY CORNELLY 1928 MIMI Fford-yr-Eglwys NORTH CORNELLY CF32 4HL GELLIRON CEMETERY 1889 MIMI Alexander Road PONTYCYMMER CF32 8HB GLYNOGWR CEMETERY 1888 MIMI Church Place, Glynogwr BLACKMILL CF35 6EL GLYNOGWR CHURCHYARD St Tyfodwg's Church Glynogwr BLACKMILL CF35 6EL LALESTON CEMETERY 1980 MIMI Roger’s Lane LALESTON CF32 0HU LLANGEINOR CHURCHYARD St Ceinwyr’s Church LLANGEINOR CF32 8RX Monuments indexed by GFHS MAESTEG CEMETERY 1883 MIMI Cemetery Road MAESTEG CF34 0DN 4 OGMORE VALE (Pwll-y-Pant) 1887 MIMI Cemetery Road OGMORE VALE CF32 7HT PENCOED CEMETERY 1953 MIMI Velindre Road PENCOED CF35 5HZ PORTHCAWL 1934 MIMI Pyle Road Nottage PORTHCAWL CF36 5TB SARN 1936 MIMI Sarn Hill SARN CF32 8RW COYCHURCH CREMATORIUM 1970 COYCHURCH NR BRIDGEND CF35 6AB ENQUIRIES TO: All BCBC burial records enquiries should be directed to Coychurch Cematorium Tel: 01656 656605 Email: [email protected] 5 (2) CAERPHILLY COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL There are 10 cemeteries the responsibility of Caerphilly County Borough Council: ABERCARN 1901 Cemetery Road ABERCARN NP11 5JS BEDWAS 1960 Newport Road BEDWAS CF83 8DR BEDWELLTY NP12 0BD DANYGRAIG CEMETERY 1931 Tir-y-Cwm Road RISCA NP11 6DL GELLIGAER CEMETERY 1935 Castle Hill GELLIGAER CF82 8EF GWAELODYBRITHDIR (Bargoed) 1917 Brithdir New Tredegar NP24 6JY LLANFABON CEMETERY 1969 NELSON CF46 6PG PENYRHEOL (CAERPHILLY) CEMETERY 1909 Mill Road CAERPHILLY CF83 2NX RHYMNEY CEMETERY 1894 Carno Street RHYMNEY NP22 5QP RISCA, OLD CEMETERY 1888 Cromwell Road RISCA NP11 7AH ENQUIRIES TO: Bereavement Services Tir-y-Berth Depot New Road HENGOED email Contact on website: www.caerphilly.gov.uk 01495 2351898 6 (3) CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF Cardiff Council Bereavement Services operate 7 cemeteries and Thornhill Crematorium.

Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage.

In 1896 the area between the existing cemetery and the filter beds was examined which was almost immediately obtained and opened as the new cemetery with the section north of the main drive used temporarily as allotments. The farms taken over were Wedal and Lower Wedal and a property known as The Mount. The layout of the new section moved away from the ornate design to more geometric lines. 1 SCOUT.

The Tai Tarian team encouraged tenants to get involved in whatever way they felt comfortable. This could be helping to prepare ground or sowing seeds. If mobility were an issue, tenants could promote the B-Line projects to friends and families. At several housing schemes, tenants have seen and enjoyed the benefits of wildflower meadows in full bloom.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished.
