Old school room in the Cwm/Lower Town
Often referred to as a chapel, this little building was probably a small dame school. It was associated with the mansion of Plas Glynamel/Glynymel which lies a short distance beyond and I was told that its bell was rung to summon the estate workers to their midday meal. It has an interesting door carved by John Cleal and depsicting his family.

John Cleal's carved door
This door of an old chapel was made by the artist John Cleal and represents his own family. He took up residence in Lower Fishguard in the 1960's and ran a workshop and gallery and raised his children here, dying in 2007. He wrote:
"We must teach our children
To smell the Earth
To taste the rain
To touch the wind
To see things grow
To hear the sun rise and night fall
To care"

Pistyll Hotch limekiln renewed
The once-derelict lime kiln beside the Afon Gwaun in the Mwsland area of Lower Fishguard has been beautifully rebuilt and renovated by a private individual. Worth a visit to see what can be done with neglected buildings of historical importance. Two other limekilns that were situated on the seaward side of the bridge were destroyed when the harbour area was improved. Those at the bottom of the Slade remain intact.

Pistyll Hotch lime kiln, Mwsland
Renovation more or less completed, the old lime kiln looks very striking. It bears the date 1800 on the east side. It is named for its position below the long-disused Pistyll Hotch quarries. Probably the boats supplying limestone for the kiln could load up with building stone in its stead.
