On Saturday 16th March, despite the gales and threatening rain, a group of eighteen joined Heather Hurley on a short walk from Pengethley to investigate the past history of the park, old roads, Hentland church, Parson's Common, the lip well, Bierless Lane, the former poor houses, Pengethley Manor and Upper Pengethley Farm. Struggling with the strong wind the party walked through the park understood to date from the late C16th or early C17th. From Tuft Wood the path alongside an ancient hollow-way led to Hentland church dedicated to St Dubricius (Dyfrig).

The exterior was viewed and discussed before entering the church where Robin gave an update on the Hentland Church project. The group were then led down to Parson's Common and the lip well and learnt about the abandoned Bierless Lane closed by Quarter Sessions in 1829. A walk through the park led to the highest point where a short history was given of Pengethley dating from one of its earliest reference in the Bishop's Registers of 1334 through to Caroline Symonds in the early C20th. The census of 1901 was read before returning to a well deserved tea at Pengethley Garden Cafe.
