An interesting walk ending in a talk about the Bassett family of Llantrithyd. Poor John and Elizabeth Bassett lost numerous children with only their daughter - also Elizabeth outliving them resulting in the loss of the family name. #Llantrithyd #BassettFamily #ValeOfGlamorgan #Cymru #Wales #History #ChurchesUnlocked #StIlltyd.

Attended an event at the churches unlocked festival. A graveyard tour around Margam Abbey. The most famous (and harrowing) story was that of Robert Scott. On the morning of Friday, June 10, 1898 the body of a gamekeeper was found on Margam mountain - he had been shot in the face with a shotgun. Joseph Lewis of Maesteg was later arrested after bragging about what he did. He was hung on 29th August in Swansea prison. #Graveyard #ChurchesUnlocked #Cymru #Wales #Margam
