18 years after my first Geograph image I returned to photograph the small monument erected in 1877 to commemorate the occasion in 1777 when John Wesley, as a guest of the Vaughan family, preached under an oak tree in the grounds of Trecwn House (now gone). The oak tree still stands, festooned with Usnea lichen and epiphytic ferns. The grounds, once landscaped with ornamental shrubs and trees, show no sign of maintenance and have been left to go wild - rubbish has been dumped in the undergrowth too. The memorial itself, which stands in a small enclosure of wire netting, is in poor repair, its inscription only partially visible and concealed by ivy and moss. The metal fence that surrounds the former RNAD Trecwn runs behind the oak tree and the enclosure. The memorial is recorded in the Coflein catalogue of historical sites https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/305511/?term=Wesley The memorial is on private land and does not currently have public access.
