"LLANEDWEN, a parish in the hundred of Menai, county Anglesey, 6 miles S.W. of Beaumaris, 6 N.E. of Newborough, and 5 from Carnarvon, its post town. The Llanfair station on the Chester and Holyhead line is about 3 miles N.E. of the village, It is situated on the western coast of Menai Strait, where the Roman general, Suetonius Paulinus, effected a landing, and was one of the sacred spots of the Druids. In the reign of Edward I. an English knight, with some followers, landed here, but was defeated. There is a ferry at Porthamal, near this place. The living is a curacy annexed to the vicarage of Llanidan, in the diocese of Bangor.' The church is built on a bank, which gently slopes to the water's edge, and the graves in the churchyard are each set round with box plants, which are trimmed into a compact form resembling a sarcophagus. In the church is a monument to the author of "Mona Antiqua," Rev. H. Rowlands, who was at one time vicar. The charities produce about £5 per annum. Plas Newydd is the modern seat of the Marquis of Anglesey; Plas Coch is another residence." [From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) -
