My Great Grandfather's Memories
This is an excerpt from Frederick Rosher's diary written while on a visit to Trewyn Court, a family home, in 1850.

Around Alton Photographic Memories
Edward I was renowned for his military strong- holds, especially in North Wales. In 1254, as a young prince, he was granted the trilateral castles of White Castle, Grosmont and Skenfrith. Probably he was responsible for this twin- towered gatehouse, which in the 1260s became the new entrance to the castle via a drawbridge over the deep moat.

Around Alton Photographic Memories
On the right is Waterloo Cottage, which until the mid 1970s was the post office and village shop. The Cwmera Baptist church on the left was built in 1868, and the shed next to its graveyard was once used to stable the horses of visiting preachers.
