Parliament, after completing the subjugation of
Wales, a conquest which it had required 800 years
to effect. The old wall has been built upon, and
metamorphosed into the gable end of a row of
small houses, se that to a passenger there is nothing
particularly antique or striking in its appearance;
but the Very Rev. the Dean of ST. ASAPH, In or-
der to rescue this piece of antiquity from
has caused to be placed upon it a tablet, hearing
the following insciiption :
This resement
