Jeremy Knight remembers being 'Out with the Cambrians' but we remember him being 'Out with the Monmouthshire Antiquarians' as well. Jeremy Knight has been an important figure in so many local historical societies and has given talks and led tours of many historical sites for numerous organisations including The Monmouthshire Antiquarian Association (MAA).  St Peter's Churchyard Blaenavon Blaenavon Ironworks One memorable visit was to Montgomery Castle which Jeremy had originally excavated. He also took us on visits to Blaenavon and many other sites and wrote articles for The Monmouthshire Antiquary. Above you  can see him looking at iron coffins in the Churchyard at Blaenavon. Below  you can see him on a visit to Gower with our members at Parc Cwm Long Barrow.    Parc Cwm Long Barrow If you look in the 2017 volume of The Monmouthshire Antiquary (Number 33) you will find that the first article is by Jeremy of the speech he gave on the occasion of his 80th birthday
