Philip Harland (Letters, 6 February) may be pleased to know that, courtesy of the Dee Valley area of outstanding natural beauty and the national lottery, the “neglected and overgrown gravestone” of Charlotte Andrew and Amelia Lolley in the churchyard at St Tysilio near Llangollen is being made more accessible to visitors. It is also one of the graves being celebrated in a leaflet resulting from a “graveyard mapping” exercise by the Llangollen Museum, which will also be available to visitors. Perhaps Mr Harland would like to become a “friend” of the church and keep in touch with the progress we are hoping to make.
