On the coat of arms above the entrance to Pentre Mawr is the Latin phrase ‘spes non fracta’. In English it means ‘hope shall not break’. According to CADW, the building was:
“Constructed on the site of the C17 manor house, first mentioned in 1697. The C18 house, the seat of the Jones-Bateman family, was extended c1830, but burned out in 1850. The present building was erected three years later, in 1853. It is now converted into 24 flats.”
On 23 August 1914 at Mons, Belgium, Captain Walton Mellor, of Tanybryn, Abergele’s was killed.
Walton was the son of Colonel John Edwin Mellor of Tan-y-Bryn Abergele.
He was the first WWI death of a soldier from Abergele.
Here is a full account of Walton Mellor’s story now by Andrew Hesketh:
The elder son of Colonel John Edward Mellor of Tan-y-Bryn, Abergele, Walton Mellor was born on the 27th of June 1878 and educated at Rossall School. He joined the Lancashire Fusiliers from the Militia in December 1899, becoming Lieutenant in May 1900 and Captain in June 1905. He served in South Africa (the Boer War) in the Transvaal, Natal, the action at Laing’s Nek and in the Orange River Colony. From January 1901 to May 1902, in the Transvaal, he acted as Railway Staff Officer. He was awarded the Queen’s Medal with 4 clasps and the King’s Medal with two clasps. In 1908 he transferred to the Royal Irish Regiment. Between 1910 and 1914 he was in charge of a company of cadets at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, returning to the Royal Irish full time in January 1914. He married Kathleen Geraldine Helen Wellesley 31 March 1910. Her Great Grandfather’s brother was Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington of Peninsular War and Waterloo fame, a fact that undoubtedly Walton would have mentioned from time to time in the Officer’s mess. They had a daughter, named Kathleen Florence, who was born in 1911. Walton was killed in action, Battle of Mons, 23 August 1914.
“The Royal Irish had just before sent up two companies to support us in the centre … and to cover the retirement of B Company. It was with this lot that I saw Captain Mellor of the Royal Irish killed. I was by his side talking to him about the position when a shell exploded close above our heads and a splinter went right through his head. This alarmed his men very much for when I went back to the CO to tell him what had happened I heard the men at the other end of his Coy talking about the Captain being killed.” Lt. Woolcombe, Adjutant of the 4th Middlesex.
Walton’s widow, Kathleen, wasted little time in planning a lasting memorial. A Vestry meeting was held at the parish church of St. Michael’s on 14 January 1915 at which the members considered the design and wording of tablet that Kathleen had proposed. The Vestry meeting approved both aspects and submitted an application to the Chancellor of the Diocese of St. Asaph on 12 February 1915 for a Faculty to erect the memorial. The Faculty was duly granted and in due course the memorial was erected and unveiled by the Dean of St. Asaph to a packed church on Sunday 27 June 1915. Hung on the north aisle wall, directly opposite the entrance from the porch, the memorial remains one of the most noticeable in the church. Walton Mellor left a 3 year old daughter and a grieving wife. Kathleen was to live a long life, spending 68 years as a widow. She died on 9 December 1982, having reached the age of 100.
Walton lies in Plot II. A. 3., St. Symphorien Military Cemetery, Mons, Hainaut, Belgium.
He is not forgotten

Recording lists of the names of some of the people from Abergele and those with links to the town who took part in WWI was a challenge that Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan students relished as one of the school’s community projects to remember 100 years since the Great War.
Head Lee Cummins, head of sixth form John Seymour, music department and technicians and of course the students rose to the occasion, as you can hear in Sophie Peake’s recording:
Apart from Sophie’s, there are another 17 recordings. The first live performance, thanks to Abergele Town Council’s Delyth MacRae, is after the St Michael’s Vigil on 4 August 2014.
The participants’ names were researched by historian Andrew Hesketh with audio post production by AbergelePost.com’s Gareth Morlais.
Here’s a list of students who made the recordings:
Jordan Harwood
Chloe Merrison
Anna Humphreys
Teigan Thompson
Scott Carney
Alice Naylor
Chantalle Cox
Eleanor Lloyd
Iwan Coghlan
Cian Hanna
Mike White
Ben Stone
Sophie Peake
Laurie Wilson
Lara Wagstaff
Abbey Jacklin
Jamie Edwards
You can see some of the students below making their recordings using Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan’s Music Department studio.What’s poignant is that many of those who went to war a hundred years ago were a similar age to the young people whose voices you can hear listing the names. AbergelePost.com is grateful to these students for paying their respects.
Abergele Town Council in conjunction with the Abergele British Legion and St. Michael’s Church are holding a service of mark the commencement of the WWI commemorations on Monday 4th August 2014 at 7pm in St. Michael’s Church to reflect and remember.
It was at 11pm on 4 August 1914 that Germany declared war on Belgium. Great Britain gave Austria-Hungary an ultimatum to stand down from hostilities. When Austria-Hungary didn’t comply, a state of war was declared.
After the service, Abergele Town Council’s Delyth McRae has arranged for recordings of Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan students listing the names of of some of the participants in WWI with a connection to Abergele. This is the list researched by Abergele war historian Andrew Hesketh. The recordings, produced by AbergelePost.com, are called Cofia Abergele Remembers. There’ll be more information about them here soon, including names of the Emrys students who took part in the recordings.

It’s easy to miss this fellow with a stone head and grass hair as you stroll down Chapel St. Tip your hat to him next time you glance up at him on the porch of the Bull.
World War 1 began on 28 July 1914.
This is the final installment of the series of pages of names of those people who played their part in the Great War from Abergele and surrounding areas and people from beyond Wales with Abergele connections. This whole list has been researched by Andrew Hesketh.
The Regiment, where shown, is usually the last known regiment of the 1914-1919 period. When the main spell of experience of service personnel has been with a former regiment, this is shown instead.

Did you know that more than a thousand participants in World War 1 had Abergele connections? They were people from Abergele, nearby surrounding areas, and people from beyond Wales with Abergele connections. The list has been researched by Andrew Hesketh, who has lived in Abergele since the turn of the millennium and is a teacher in Conwy.
This is one of a series of pages on AbergelePost.com which publishes the names in serialised form, ending up on 28 July – 100 years after the beginning of WWI.
The Regiment, where shown, is usually the last known regiment of the 1914-1919 period. When the principal experience of service personnel has been with a former regiment, this is shown instead.
I asked Andrew Hesketh about the difference between Abergele Urban and Abergele Rural. He explains:
“It refers to the demarcation between the Urban and Rural authorities which in reality seem surprisingly blurred and really only became significant from 1916 following the introduction of conscription.
“Depending on whether you were Urban or Rural there was a different appeals tribunal. In very generalised terms, the ‘rural’ is areas beyond the confines of what today might be regarded as the actual town of Abergele but within the wider district, i.e Penyffordd Cottages, Moelfre, Foryd.
“Confusingly though, on my listing one man from Moelfre may be listed as such, and another be listed as Abergele Rural, despite being from Moelfre.”
So here is the third installment of Andrew Hesketh’s list of WWI participants from the Abergele Rural area:

This is the second of a series of four posts featuring the research of Andrew Hesketh into participants in the Great War with Abergele connections. As a mark of respect, we’re publishing the thousand-plus list of names in installments. Today we’re listing those from the outskirts of Abergele. As Andrew Hesketh says: “The ones ‘farther afield’ are a real conundrum. Llanddulas, Rhyd y Foel, Betws yn Rhos, St. George and Towyn were, at the time, effectively regarded as part of the ‘wider’ Abergele. The the pull of the market and the close links between the agricultural communities in particular meant that blokes from as far away as Llanelian and Dolwen (which today are in the gravitational orbit of Colwyn Bay) were, at the time, regarded as part of the wider Abergele community. So was Llanfair TH and Llanefydd, but I decided early on to draw a line there because the ‘pull’ of Denbigh and Llanrwst begins to kick in at those places). I decided therefore, that my research should reflect what was seen and regarded as Abergele and district in 1914, not what it would appear to be in 2014.”

“One Abergele man is commemorated in a small town in Australia and another in Utica, New York, USA,” says Abergele WWI researcher Andrew Hesketh.
Finishing up on the 100th anniversary of the start of War on 28 July, AbergelePost is serialising Andrew’s list in this year which marks the Centenary of the beginning of the Great War.
Here are the people with Abergele connections from outside Wales and even further afield.

N.B. Andrew Hesketh says that the Regiment column usually shows the last known regiment of the 1914-1919 period. When the principal experience of a man has been with a former regiment, this is shown instead.
The next installment will list participants from Abergele’s outskirts, from Pensarn to Llanddulas and from Dolwen to Moelfre.
During 2014, we’re commemorating the Centenary of the beginning of World War I in 1914.
For the past seven years Andrew Hesketh has been researching the role played in the Great War by the people of Abergele.
As a mark of respect to those who participated in WWI, AbergelePost.com is publishing the names of the participants in installments, along with where they’re from and their regiment where known.
We can do this with special thanks to Andrew Hesketh for sharing his research. Andrew describes how he came to do this and writes:
“I have been researching the men and women of Abergele & district who participated in the Great War 1914-1918 since c.2007. My ‘list’ of participants now well exceeds 1,000 and this is backed up by plenty of archival and research information, as well as visits to certain battlefields.
“About three or four years ago I read in the local press that the Council were planning towards the centenary of 2014, and that a central pillar of their plan would be based around potentially adding ‘missing’ names to memorial at St. Michael’s.”
Andrew sees his work as an organic project:
“Would any readers be able to add any information, trivial or otherwise, to my research into local men and women of the Great War period? I would be particularly pleased to see photographs of local men who participated. I am also struggling to match up some war-era addresses with their actual location in Abergele! Naturally I would share, in return, any information I have collected.”
We’ll be publishing Andrew’s list – split up into four installments – over the coming weeks, and timing the final installment to go live on the morning exactly 100 years after the Great War began on 28 July 1914.
AbergelePost has been working with Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan on a multi-media project which will aim to pay special tribute to those who took part in the War. More news about that over the coming weeks.
