Administrative / Biographical History

Llanedwen is a parish in the hundred of Menai, county Anglesey, 6 miles S.W. of Beaumaris, 6 N.E. of Newborough. 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. There was a ferry at Porthamal. 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.
