Sorry for the delay-- escaped out for a day!
You are right-- in a way-- the church is actually called Llangelynin New Church built in 1839-- My interest in the place was aroused when I read about the Rowen Murders in Christopher Draper's book Walks in the Conwy Valley.

Yes that's the one, sorry Yorkie.
Hadn't much time as I was on my way to a meeting, but the wild flowers were phenomenal--like a carpet.I just shot out of the car and took a few quick pics.

I stopped there the last time I went down to Rowen but couldn't find a decent shot.   I believe that it is now a private property and has presumably been de-consecrated, although the graveyard has been preserved.
Glad that I know the name now!  :D

This will be dead easy for some and terribly hard for others.

I picked Didcot because it was the first one to open. I knew the Croydon Woolworths well, used to work opposite it in the late 70's.

Nemesis,
The grave of Jesse Roberts who was murdered in Rowen, 2 May 1853, is located at Llangelynin New Church. My great grandfather John Sloane was a witness at the trial.
