Geocache Description:


Hen Eglwys Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog 

 

A cache page won’t do this location justice, you really just need to visit.

The road at the end of the public footpath east of GZ is wide enough to park on, but ensure you leave enough room for farm traffic. 

The posted coordinates will bring you to St Michael’s parish church, or Eglwys Llanfihangel, as it was known more commonly when in use. It is one of very few retained, unrestored medieval churches in Wales. It did not see a Victorian era renovation as instead the parish church was moved to Gaerwen in the 1840s.

 

To find the cache you’ll need to take a moment in the graveyard (the posted coordinates) to locate Owen and Margaret Hughes.  

A quick Welsh lesson may help you to gather the information required: 

Priod = Married to 

Yr hwn / hon a fu farw = Who died 

Mlwydd oed = Years old 

Hefyd = Also 

 

Take the date and age Owen died = Mai 7. 188A at B5 years old 

Take the date his wife Margret died = Mai CD. 18EF 

You'll find the cache at N53 1(D-C).C(F-C)(D-F) W4 1B.EAA 

 

Please replace carefully and exactly as found.

Enjoy this special little location.
