It is rumored that the original mediaeval church which was built after the Norman conquest was built on an ancient piece of holy ground. This of course was common practice by the early Christians who were trying to destroy by integration all traces of the "Old Religion"

This and more primitive carved stone heads where found in the Vicarage garden among stones that had been taken from the original Christian mediaeval church. This is more proof that although the early Christians had taken in the new religion they did not really trust it enough to not include some of their old gods in the foundations as an appeasement. This is the present All Saints Parish Church, and owes its place in history as being built by three generations of one family of architects (namely the Hadfields) over a period of 70 years starting as early as 1837 |
The wooden Offices at Haukshead Mill where bought by Mr Jackson from the Parish Church where they hah been used as a protective nave, during remedial work on the church
For anybody who is interested their is a marvelous book called Neath Ancient Moss Which is a short history of its building and its vicars
