"NEWBOROUGH ST. PETER, (anciently Llananno), a parish and decayed market town in the hundred of Menai, county Anglesey, 12 miles from Bangor, and 5 from Carnarvon. It is situated near the coast, and is named by the Welsh Rhos-hyr, from its site on the Moeldraeth Sands, near a long dorsal ridge, covered with heath and rare maritime plants, interesting to the botanist. This place, which is now only a poor, decayed village, was formerly a market town, and had a llys, or royal palace, of the princes of North Wales. Edward I. annexed to it the royalties of the Prince of Wales, and gave it a charter of incorporation, with power to elect a mayor, recorder, bailiffs, &c., which privileges are still nominally enjoyed, though its officers exercise no jurisdiction. It returned one member to parliament in the third year of Henry VIII., and in the first year of Edward VI., but the franchise was subsequently transferred to Beaumaris."
