Elopement

1798 – Elopement

Mary Howells, wife of Howell Howells a carpenter of Llanveynoe, eloped from her husband without “any just cause or provocation”.

A notice was posted in the Hereford Journal to say that “no person or persons will give credit to the said Mary Howell, as her husband will not pay any debt or debts that she may contract from the date hereof.

Dated this 30th day of May 1798″

St.Bueno & St. Peter’s Church – Llanveynoe

The medieval church of St. Beuno & St. Peter was perhaps built on the site of a pagan site that became a small monastery founded by St. Beuno in around 600 AD. The exact site of the monastery is uncertain, but as excavations at nearby Olchon Court have revealed possible foundations of a monastic building, then maybe this was where it was and not under the church at all.
