The grave of Princess Margaret's husband | Lord Snowdown | Queen Elizabeth's Brother (in law)

[@kohedunn]

What a beautiful place ...I have never seen a church like this one...I hope it remains undamaged for generations to come and see... The graveyard itself and the view of the sea, gave me a strange feeling ( all good) otherworldly ... I found it hard to breath for a while....Stunned and amazed ...Thank you for taking us to see this wonderful place..

[@deadgoodwalks]

No problem Anne x

[@johnfellows689]

As we walk in these places and slowly read each stone. We find the unexpected gem. A grave yard tells a mighty tale of things we may endever, of things we like to do or love that lasts forever, the stroll will take us far and wide to places hardly heard of , but one day soon we all will be of what it’s truly made of.

Anthony Armstrong-Jones was a wild and deeply unhappy soul. I believe that only at the end of his years did he find some happiness. Now he lies quiet and untroubled in this most beautiful and ancient place where I hope he can find the peace and tranquility he rarely had in life. RIP Lord Snowden.

We had a day off school when Princess Margaret married Anthony Armstrong Jones. He was given a title - Lord Snowdon, to enable him to marry Margaret. We watched the wedding on a small black and white TV. It must have been 1962 ish. I was 10 years old.

[@janetpendlebury6808]

He did not need a title to marry Princess Margaret. They married on 6th May 1960 - he was not created Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley, of Nymans in the County of Sussex, until 6 October 1961, just before their son was born.

The carved decorated bench to the right of the communion table in the chancel is called a misericord. A foldable seat for clergy. Probably the only pre-Reformation item left in that little church.

Fascinating Stuart, I'd love to know more

[@sheilanixon913]

He used to go with his children ,and the Queen Mother to the London Symphony Orchestra Children's Concerts at the Royal Festival Hall after he and Princess Margaret had separated. They once went onto the stage , and the conductor used Lord Snowdon and his children to hold a long piece of garden hose. The Conductor put a chemical funnel at one end, and a brass mouth piece at the other. He then got a trumpet player to come and ""play ""the garden hose before coiling it up to show a French Horn is made . Lord Snowdon said one word, ""Wow ! ""

[@StuartDavies]

Real Americans would cherish historical sites such as this. We have too many diverse ideologies and liberal ideas to keep treasures intact. Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown in the state of Virginia are good examples of trying to preserve our heritage. William and Mary is also a fine institution with historical flare. St. Paul's Church in Norfolk has a cannonball in embedded in one of its walls; a sign that British fire was very real in our fair city.

Re the "correction" on the grave stone. Griffith Williams married Jane Jones at Llanfaglan in 1837. Griffith was a farmer, the name of his farm being Cae('r) Coch or Cock, in the nearby parish of Llanbeblig. The farm was later referred to as ''Bronydd or Cae Cock' when up for sale in 1904. It is believed the name of the farm was changed in the course of the Welsh Revival (1904-1905).

[@kareninacarado]

According to the 1st Earl of Snowdon’s son David (currently the Earl) from an interview he did in 2018, he also has plans to be buried and reunited with his father one day, and to honour his Welsh ancestry. So I think it’s safe to say that they might build a family mausoleum someday? This would accommodate the past, present, and the future Earls of Snowdon. (Antony had 3 legitimate children and 7 grandchildren, so that’s potentially a big room to fill)

[@deadgoodwalks]

You could be right, there's plenty of room there for a mausoleum

Those heraldic panels (03:59) are called hatchments or achievements.
