Posted by admin on Dec 11, 2009

A rare piece of 17th Century church history which was feared lost in Powys has been found – nearly 75 years later.

The register from the parish of Llandeilo Graban, near Builth Wells, went missing in 1935, and mysteriously turned up in the Midlands.

Dating from 1669 to 1812, it has been handed to Powys council’s archives department for safekeeping.

The log of births, marriages and deaths is in a poor condition, but the council said it would place the details online.
