Scrapbook: Events in and around Beaumaris

SCRAPBOOK: Collected by Lt. Col. W. T. Thomas, Beaumaris, Chief Constable of Anglesey and Justice of the Peace concerning events in and around Beaumaris.

Beaumaris was originally a Viking settlement known as Porth y Wygyr "Port of the Vikings" but the town itself began its development in 1295 when Edward I of England, having conquered Wales, commissioned the building of Beaumaris Castle as part of a chain of fortifications around the North Wales coast. The castle was built on a marsh and that is where it found its name; the Norman-French builders called it beaux marais which translates as "beautiful marshes".
