Churchyard

The Churchyard in the Parish of Llangynwyd with Maesteg, is reputed to be the largest private graveyard in the whole of Europe. It covers two areas - the old yard encircling the church of St Cynwyd and the new yard across the road; the main path of which rises gradually and from the top the views of the surrounding countryside are stunning. The churchyard contains many graves important to the history of Wales, including that of Samuel Jones (the founder of the Annibynwyr), Will Hopkin, (the writer of Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn) and many others. We are very fortunate at this present time that the Community Services Department in Swansea sends teams to cut the grass of the churchyard because the responsibility for its upkeep lies entirely with the parish. Even so, huge costs are involved in maintaining the walls and the trees etc. There is a 'Friends of the Churchyard' - people who are willing on an annual basis to give a small donation towards the upkeep.
If you are interested in 'becoming a 'Friend' please contact the Vicar.

The church burial records go back to the 18th century and many people utilise these records to trace their family history. 
If you would like further information on tracing Church graves or looking into family history, please initially contact the Vicar who will then find the appropriate person to help you.
