LLANGRANNOG REMEMBERS
1914-1918
All
families suffered when a loved one was lost but some families had more than
one member amongst the fallen The Montague family of “Bryndewi”,
Llangrannog, lost two sons. Stanley Montague, Trooper in the 9th
Lancers was killed at Ypres on 24th May 1915 and his brother
Ralph, Gunner with the Royal Field Artillery, was later killed at Ypres on
14th October 1917.
The family at Cefn Ceiliog, now Hendre, Blaencelyn, lost two
grandsons. John Thomas Davies, Able Seaman, died when his ship was torpedoed
on 19th February 1918 and Lieutenant David George Griffiths M.C.
died of his wounds on 17th December 1918.
William Morgan Lewis, Waun Villa, and John Lewis Owen, Wynebhwnt,
were neighbours and both died when their ship SS Snowdon was torpedoed on 19th
May 1918.
The Hope family of Pigeonsford/Rhyd-y-Colomennod and Bryngobaith
sustained many losses within its extended family.
The final months of the war from October 1917 to November 1918 were a
particularly tragic time for Llangrannog families as the death toll mounted.
The compiled list contains twenty names and fifteen of these men died in
this period of twelve months.

St. Caranog
Plans are being discussed to commission a life size bronze statue of St
Caranog to be placed on Pen Rhip headland. The statue will depict St Caranog
looking out to sea. Planning permission has now been granted for
this which will also include a Celtic base and a stone seating area. The
sculpture will be designed and built by the Internationally Renowned
sculptor Sebastien
Boyesen, who lives
in Llangrannog. Fund raising activities are planned.
Seafront Mosaic
A mosaic
has been made and setup on one of the end walls of the "Shelter" on the
sea front. This was done by the pupils of Pontgarreg Primary School,
under the expert guidance of Helena Boyesen and is a credit to both the
pupils of the school and the village. The "Shelter" or "Shanty" as it is
known locally is now owned by Welsh Water and has recently been tidied
up and repainted, a big improvement on the "eyesore" of recent years. A
photograph of the Mosaic is to be found in
Photo Gallery 3.
Car Park
at the top of the
village has been re-instated after completion of the water treatment
works. Llangrannog Welfare Committee will place an honesty box for
parking fees, monies from this collection will be used to fund projects
within the village. A toilet block is also located within this car park.
Ship Inn Car Park
is located next to the beach and is a private Car Park.
Parking Fees vary according to season and payment is either via an
Honesty box, or to a car park assistant. There is one fee for all day
parking.
Other Parking
There is some Car Parking towards the sea front, but
during the summer season this is officially limited to a one hour stay.
Beaches
have more sand on
them than for several years and now that only clean water is
discharged into the bay, will mean that the quality of the water is
perfect for bathing.
Cilborth
Beach can
only be accessed from Llangrannog Beach at low water, but there is a
steep, but safe cliff path
to Llangrannog.
Third Bay and
beyond can only be accessed from Cilborth at very low tides, or by boat.
These beaches are completely covered with water at High Tide.
Billis Beach
has plenty of sand and can be accessed by boat or via a
cliff path from Lochtyn Headland. Lochtyn Beach
has plenty of sand and can be accessed via a steep cliff
path, or by boat.
Dolphins
can be seen on most days
in the Bay during the
Summer season.
Welfare Gardens
upper level
was replanted in the Spring and should be a display of colour for the
season. The mosaic on the lower level garden has been completed
by Little Art School and these gardens are tranquil and a
credit to the village of Llangrannog.
Mobile Phone reception in the village is variable. Orange has little or no
signal below Brynhoffnant, Vodafone has some reception near the
Lime Kiln or on Penrhip, whilst T Mobile or One2One has
good reception throughout the village, as has Virgin Mobile. Mobile
Broadband has no signal and currently there is no WiFi available in the
village. We have no information on other
networks, but if you e-mail us at
Carregbica1@googlemail.com ,
the information will be included.
Contact can be made via e-mail to
and your notices will
be published.
