In fact there's an updated history at http://coatesvillage.wordpress.com - and even that needs updating, notably to take into account the German airmen plus a number of otehr inaccuracies that have surfaced since it was written (please, don't shoot the messenger :-)) Cheers, Jon Thanks for the comments!

I have just come across an Agnes Roberts, whose mother Mary Ann Roberts (nee Rees I think) was the postmistress in Coates in 1901. Mary Ann was married to George Roberts, who had a brother Robert Roberts who was my great, great, grandfather. Their father was Richard Giles Roberts who was a master carpenter for Lord Bathhurst.
