James Lewis - Ancient Order of Druids (General)

The following appeared in The Hereford Journal 26th Dec 1827.

Died Monmouth age 28. Mr James LEWIS jun. Stay-maker, he was a member of The Ancient Order of Druids, and he was interred with all honours of the society.

I believe that he is the son of James LEWIS Stay-maker who owned property in Monnow St, Monmouth, and the brother of Elizabeth LEWIS, Stay-maker.

I am hoping that the Forest of Dean is close enough to Monmouth to have members which might be able to shed some light, on Druidism in Monmouth at that time.

Many thanks

Happy New Year
