Description

In the vestry below the Methodist chapel at Ceinws Esgairgeiliog, there were children's parties and Sunday schools, some were even presented with medals with so many years unbroken attendance. This was also the room where chapel members attended choir practice. Before the second World war, Mr Lloyd the postman was the choir master. Mr Lloyd was an accomplished pianist but there was no piano or organ in the vestry. Therefore, when he wanted a note to start the choir off on, he would run out of the chapel and up the road to his house in Achor Cottage and strike the note on his own piano. Then , singing the note repeatedly, he would run back down to the vestry and the choir would start off on the right note.
