History of Llanbletian Tour - April 2024

Sue Bradshaw Jones led group of over 20 WI members around  the village of Llanblethian  and gave a  lively, engaging and informative tour of the village .  We meandered through the narrow lanes and learned about the castle, houses, river and buildings. Sue described the  people who lived and worked in the village from the 1700's  through to the present day - both rich and poor, pointing out the site of the former Alms houses (three in total).  It was fascinating to hear about the trades and industry that the village was involved in throughout the ages.

We then settled into the bar area of  the newly opened Cross Inn for a drink and slideshow of historical photographs of the people and places that Sue had spoken about.

Well done Sue - what a wonderful evening it was.
