@Barb_Drummond @margamabbey “Forever” I wonder if they do still give at least the equivalent to a food bank or similar.
@Barb_Drummond @margamabbey I've seen a few wall tablets that record the deceased leaving money for giving bread to the poor but they are rare.
@Barb_Drummond @margamabbey Wonder if it’s continued
