Summary edit
| Description |
English: Twm Tobacco's Grave, Llandeilo Hill Having searched the internet for information on who Twm Tobacco was I have lifted this from http://www.roughrides.co.uk/showroute.asp?idRoute=3&presetno=14&dist=27.4
'One story has Twm Tobacco as a well loved 'packman' buried either where he fell, or at his favourite spot. A packman was an early travelling salesman. This Twm would in all likelihood have sold silk scarves, trinkets for the young girls, and of course tobacco. He may have carried a pack, or perhaps travelled with a pony or donkey. A great many of the old hill routes were no more than packhorse routes, too precipitous for wheeled carts. Many more were 'Gambo' roads, and only wide enough for this small Welsh cart. There's a lot of them still existing, if you can spot the signs. However another tale has him as a felon, hanged at the crossroads and buried on unconsecrated ground.' |
