SCHEME to return a gravestone to its original resting place in Raglan churchyard has now been completed.

Edward George Danger (1862 to 1922) was the village stationmaster for 11 years. He died of poor health aged 59, in 1922.

The famous face of the village went on to be a danger to the church graveyard in death, because his gravestone had fallen over onto a neighbouring gravestone.

So with the help of Ernest Heal & Sons Funeral Directors, the Raglan History Detectives raised and returned his gravestone to its proper resting place yesterday (21st April) in St Cadoc's Churchyard, Raglan.

Mr Danger has no family locally but his grave has been of keen interest to the Raglan School History Detectives after school group since the club was founded in 2010.

This year they raised money to 'raise Mr Danger's grave,' thanks to the generosity of local groups, the Usk and Raglan Rotary Club, Ernest Heal & Sons Funeral Directors and Neville Crump of St Cadoc's Church.

The work of the History Detectives has also gathered interest from abroad, and finally the promise to make Mr Danger's gravestone less dangerous has been fulfilled.

The Railway station was a very important place in Raglan Village and is greatly missed, Mr Danger's jobs included shunterman and signalman.

The Raglan Railway Station closed in the 1950s and the tracks were replaced by a dual carriageway in the 1970s - The Raglan Station has recently been dismantled and is in storage in St Fagans National History Museum.
