Welcome to Llanspyddid

Saturday 16th May 2009

        The recently completed refurbishment project of  “Church Field” was blessed and opened by our Vicar Rev. David Thomas to mark the hard work undertaken by villagers and other kind hearted people from outside the village, keen to help us to restore the Church Field and make it accessible for us to enjoy.
        Although it’s main purpose remains as an extension to the church yard and in time possibly serving as a burial ground, it is hoped as a village we can enjoy and make use of it for Village Fete’s, Games etc. and hopefully Church Fund raising events to help towards the upkeep of the Church Yard.

Churchfield

 

May 2009

This is our finished Church field with just a few tidying up jobs to do, and is now available to use as a community area.

If you roll your mouse over the image you will see what it was like when we started.

If anyone has any old photographs, newspaper cuttings/articles or stories to tell about Llanspyddid or the surrounding area, then please let us know. We can then post them here. It is hoped that more information will become available as members of our community get to see this website.

Practical Family History magazine will be featuring our website with particular reference to the 'Gravestone Index' under Web News in their June edition.

New Coffee Mornings in Village

It is proposed that we should provide coffee and fellowship in the church after Morning Service on the first Sunday of each month. All villagers are most welcome to join us at 12 noon, commencing on Sunday, 4th March 2007.

We would like to thank Doug Prosser (Funeral Director) who has kindly repaired 2 crosses free of charge – they are the two identical crosses on the south side of the church, to the right of the footpath leading down to the church from the village. On December 27th Doug also repaired another Gravestone free of charge which was damaged when a brow from one of the Yew trees broke off in the high winds before Christmas. Doug also righted a gravestone of a previous Llanspyddid vicar which was beginning to lean quite heavily.
