She was well enough to recommence her teaching duties on December 10th although she became ill again by December 21st. Her absences did not go unnoticed by the school inspectors. Mr Roberts reported in the log book:
Mr and Mrs Roberts and children eventually left Llanbister Cantal in February 1894 when Mr Roberts was offered a job at Penmorfa School, Caernarvonshire. The school benefited from the abolition of school fees, as did so many others. Llanbister Cantal seems to have been quite heavily dependant on funds from the parish or from 'charities'. ![]() Powys County Archives
Books still had to be bought at this time, although Llanbister Cantal tried to find a way around this: ![]() Powys County Archives
