Henry John and Sarah Llewellyn Graves at Amroth Churchyard

We have looked for the following two stones for a few years, because they relate to ancestors of many of our Llanteg families.  Now, thanks to the endeavours of Carol Mason, we have received these lovely pictures from Ted White in Canada. 

These two stones are supposedly under the large tree by the north gate of Amroth churchyard, but we have all failed to find them  so well done Ted! 

Ted also goes on to say:
'In the north east corner of St Elidyr's in Amroth is a very large beech tree.  Beneath its shady branches is a scattered group of gravestones marking the final resting place of many of the JOHN family.
Some stones are small and bear only initals, CJ and SJ for instance: others are almost covered by the build up of debris at the edge of the churchyard.  A few are legible and record the deaths of husbands and wives of the JOHN family, amongst them are:'
