"LLANFAES, a parish in the hundred of Tyndaethwy, and borough of Beaumaris, county Anglesey, 1 mile N. of Beaumaris, its post town, and 5 miles S.W. of Bangor, is situated on the coast of Beaumaris Bay. A conflict between the Saxons, under Egbert, and the Welsh, took place here, when the latter were defeated. Llewellyn founded a friary of the Franciscan order about the 13th century, which suffered greatly during the wars of Owain Glyndwr, and afterwards came to the Whyte and Brownlow families, by whom the monuments have been removed to Beaumaris, Penmynydd, Llandegai, and Llanbeblig." [From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) - Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003]
