Reader adds to Evening Post Report on Murder Stone at Cadoxton

Among the graves around St Catwg's Church near Neath is one known to anyone who grew up in the village simply as, "the murder stone".

The stone, plain but imposing, does not just mark a grave - it expresses the outrage of a community, and was designed to prick the conscience of a killer.

St Catwg's is a handsome building dating back to the Normans, with a distinctive wagon-ceiling and a fine stained glass window.

In its large cemetery are graves from an area much larger than the village itself, for the parish once stretched from Skewen to Glynneath.

The cemetery has some very ornate gravestones marking the last resting place of those from wealthy families, and some very simple ones.

Flowers regularly appear on this grave and no-one has ever seen who puts them there or knows where they have come from.   Look at the flowers on the grave in the video below:
