My wife and I were looking forward to visiting St. Nicholas Church and grave yard until a friend informed us that it had burnt down. My G.and G.G.Grand fathers were locals in the 18th and 19th centuries and I am curious to find their graves. Is there a book of ” Memorial Inscriptions Of The Church Of St. Nicholas? We were very sorry to hear the news that it was “Arson” we live in Wales and its a long way to travel unless we are certain we will find results. WE are both in our 80s and doing “Family Research. Thank you. Geoff
