Beaumaris is a community, and the former county town, of Anglesey, Wales, at the eastern entryway to the Menai Strait, the tidal waterway separating Anglesey from the coastline of North Wales. At the 2011 census, its population was 1,938. Beaumaris was the port of registration for all vessels in North West Wales, covering every harbour on Anglesey and all the ports from Conwy to Pwllheli. Shipbuilding was a significant market in Beaumaris. This was centred on Gallows Point– a close-by spit of land prolonging into the Menai Strait about a mile west of the community. Gallows Point had originally been called “Osmund’s Eyre” however was renamed when the town gallows was erected there– together with a “Dead House” for the remains of criminals sent off in public implementations. Later, danglings were carried out at the town gaol as well as the bodies hidden in a lime-pit within the curtilage of the gaol. Among the last detainees to hang at Beaumaris provided a curse prior to he died– announcing that if he was innocent the 4 faces of the church clock would certainly never show the same time.
