For this week’s #TombTuesday

#Roman Tombstone of Vicuritinus, son of Beria(cus).

Once described as inscribed Macaitinus, but on further examination it was decided it had been mounted upside down and the name is in actually Vicuritinus.

Ewloe’s Castle history is a little uncertain. The foundation of the castle is attributed to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) sometime after 1210 and built upon around 60yrs later by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (Llywelyn the Last). #CastleSaturday

Signposting the way to this weekends #CastleSaturday is this lovely wooden #FingerpostFriday 😀

The #AdoorableThursday to the former home of Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) who lived here as a child.

I love finding history plaques which make you stop and think about the people who once lived there…. If these walls could talk….

The #Medieval town walls at Conwy are said to the finest and most complete set to be found in Britain. Built at the same time as the castle and completed around 1286 the walls offer an impressive visible defence for fortification of both the castle and town.

#WallsonWednesday

This green garden is said to overlay the former Llys (court) of Llywelyn ap Gruffud (Llywelyn the Last). It is unknown if one wall of the building was incorporated into the wall but at ground level it is the only section of wall to have window seats. #MedievalMonday

A visit to Conwy wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Britain’s smallest house. Built in the C16th century the house remained in use until 1900. Alas it wasn’t open on the day we visited so we settled for a delicious locally made Parisella’s ice cream from the stall opposite.

Flint #Castle , Flintshire

Described by #CADW as ‘The earliest and most unusual of Wales’ English-built castles’.

The construction of Flint Castle began in 1277 and was the first castle to be built in support of Edward I’s campaign against Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. #Castle Saturday

St Winefride’s Chapel and Holy Well #Flintshire . Not a #fontsonfriday but a holy well that is said to have sprung up from the spot where the C7th martyr St Winefrid was brought back to life by St Beuno. The chapel set into the hillside above the spring dates from the late C15th.

A cheeky late entry for #AdoorableThursday

Citch Catch Archway, Rhuddlan

This archway leads to the path known as the citch catch dates back to the 1900s.

It was a short cut allowing the residents to access to a fresh #water pump once situated opposite.
