A public notice about an unsafe monument.

Published: 23 February 2026

Whitecastle Community Council is responsible for the closed part of the churchyard at St Cadoc's Church, Llangattock Vibon Avel. Following a recent inspection one of the gravestones was found to be in an unsafe condition. The inscription on the gravestone says:

HENRY ALLAN ROLLS

BORN AUG 5, 1871

DIED JUNE 26, 1916

If a grave is found to be unsafe, the Community Council has a duty to make reasonable efforts to contact any living descendants. They will be notified of the condition of the gravestone and asked to take appropriate action to make it safe. Where no descendants can be identified or contacted, the Council will take the necessary steps to secure the monument, which may include laying the gravestone flat to remove the risk. Please contact the council if you are able to help the council in finding any living descendants. This notice is valid until 31 March 2026.
