Sacred Ground Rescue Appeal - Spring into action this Easter

Storm damage this winter has left St Teilo’s historic churchyard at risk of erosion. Insurance will not cover the £45,000 needed to protect it. This Easter, please spring into action and help preserve this sacred place for the future.

Since the 12th century the parish church of St Teilo has been at the center of daily life for the communities of Llantilio Pertholey, Mardy and the adjacent rural hamlets. Currently the church is facing many challenges, but is still a central part of the community for a large number of people. .

Story

St Teilo’s historic churchyard has been a place of remembrance, reflection and community heritage for generations. Today, it is at risk.

Severe storm damage caused by Storm Claudia in November and Storm Chandra in January has left parts of the churchyard vulnerable to further erosion. The storms have destabilised the ground, and without urgent work, more land could be lost.

We urgently need to raise £45,000 to stabilise and protect the churchyard. Unfortunately, these essential repairs are not covered by insurance.

This appeal is about more than repairing land. It is about protecting a sacred place that holds centuries of local history and the resting place of loved ones. Once lost, this heritage cannot be replaced.

Further heavy rainfall could worsen the damage, so acting quickly is vital to secure the churchyard for the future.

Easter is a season of renewal and hope. This year we are asking our community to “spring into action” and help preserve this special place of remembrance.

Every donation, large or small, will make a difference.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this appeal with friends, family and local networks.

Together we can ensure that future generations will still be able to visit, remember and reflect at St Teilo’s churchyard.

Please support the Sacred Ground Rescue Appeal and help protect this historic place of memory.
