    3. Dave, Many, many thanks for bringing alive the land of my ancestors for me, your intimate knowledge of the area has enabled this to happen. Written down all the landmarks you mention, and shall spend today visiting them via google earth shall start at the river and work my way east. Loved the goat story - ferocious beastie they can be, and huge too, I would not face one. Sobering to realise that one tree could be considered more important than the lives of a family, that degree of inhumanity is almost inconceivable. It's grand to hear they prospered elsewhere, even if the Vicar burnt the church down :) Dee.
