Pwllglas?

[polidor]

Re-reading a service sheet for my Aunt Lizzie Hughes funeral and realised that the name of the Chapel where she was buried with her parents, my nain & taid was---Rhiw Chapel Cemetery--.[written at the bottom]

I 'googled' this name and found to my surprise that there was a Pwllglas in Denbighshire and a Pwllglas in Flintshire and also a Pwll Glas
Now i'm very muddled I've actually photographed the headstone in this cemetery and was always under the impression that i was in Pwllglas Denbighshire at the time!!

Also. when i 'googled' Rhiw Chapel without the name of Pwllglas i ended up in Efenechtyd .

If someone can explain the  Den/Flint thing ??  better still, if anyone in the area fancies a stroll along to the chapel to see if it's still there ? and the house where they lived on the opposite side of the road was called Tan Rallt

Poli, for whom all things are becoming increasingly confusing nowadays

Hi Poli,

I think the Flintshire Pwllglas is in/ part of Mold,which is in Flintshire.

Good luck.

Yes, Pwllglas in Mold is a road name - I used to live on it. It was confusing - occasionally mail used to get diverted via Pwllglas Ruthin,  the village.

There are no chapels on Pwllglas Mold and I don't think there ever were. The one at the top with its side to Pwllglas is postal address High Street.  Chris

Well, when i visit the chapel again in a few weeks time i shall take note of exactly where i am!!!
It's about 11 years since i was there and i want to have more of a wander round the churchyard just to see who else is staying there
My last visit was a very slight disappointment as the small lane that i remembered as a child, had turned into quite a wide road. I know it's called 'progress' but i'm wary as to what changes i'll find this time?Poli.
