    A school's memorial honouring 27 former pupils who died in World War One has been found in a cathedral cellar decades after being mothballed.
    The marble roll of honour had hung at Pendre School in Brecon, Powys, since 1920 but it disappeared once the school closed in the 1970s.
    It was found gathering dust underneath Brecon Cathedral by a man whose great uncles-in-law are listed on it.

    Often a problem with knowing what to do with memorial plaques if the original building has been demolished or use has changed.

    Glad this memorial can go back in the original building - and what more suitable than in a Family Centre.

    Thanks for posting it Peter.
