Here lies Poor Betty
Poor Betty (d.1842)
Her epitaph reads: “Here lyeth the body of poor Betty, who for upwards of 50 years was a houseless wandering maniac. Died Feb 1824.” Then in Welsh: “Y mae gorphwysfa yn y Nefoedd.” (“There’s a resting place in Heaven.”) Local people clubbed together to save her from a paupers’ grave.
