Who, or what, was Tara, and why does she have a memorial in one of Tenby's municipal gardens? This is the question being posed by both Tenby Town and Pembrokeshire County Council as they make plans for the continued enhancement of the town. "As part of the ongoing enhancement of Tenby's municipal gardens by the county council a programme of works is being planned for the municipal gardens on The Croft," explained clerk to Tenby Town Council, Andrew Davies. The work is scheduled to take place over the winter months, but last week, while assessing the area to make plans Mr. Davies explained that he and Mr. Rhodri Jenkins, of Pembrokeshire County Council, had been presented with an interesting question. "Embedded into the stonework on one of the upper seating levels is what looks like a memorial headstone," Mr. Davies explained. "It's about 30 inches high, curved at the top and inscribed with the words 'Tara, March 8th 1937.' It also has two flower type motifs, one either side of the inscription, which I think look a little like the old imperial seal of Japan." Mr. Davies said that the enhancement work would include this area and it was likely that the stone would have to be removed. "We do not want to cause any offence or upset to anyone, so we would like to find out as much as we can about this stone as we've no records about it in the office," he continued. "Our guess is that it's a memorial to a pet, and it may be the case that it could go back into the gardens somewhere after the enhancement, but we need to find out all about it first, particularly whether it's actually a grave, rather than just a memorial tablet." Anyone with information is asked to contact Mr. Davies at the town council offices in the De Valence on (01834) 842730.
