Why is the village called Mumbles? >
...The very word sets you wondering what sort of a place is known by such a fascinating name.
Carol Powell is filled with the dedicated passion of the zealot in preserving the history of our lovely village and, supported wholeheartedly by husband John, has, indeed, made her mark on the local scene. Her publications and internet activities have carried the fruits of her work, world wide.
