Another Tourist Killed In North Wales 1885 Lucy Margaret Marzials Died Age 15 Lancaster Gazette Saturday 29 August 1885

A Memory of Blaenau Ffestiniog.

My Ancestral 2nd cousin Lucy Margaret Marzials 1870-1885 :-An inquest was held on Monday, at the Pengwern Hctel, Festiniog, before the coroner for Merionethshire, on the body of Miss Marzials, a young lady from London, who, with her parents, had beeu on a visit to Festiniog and the slate quarries. Miss Marzials and her friends, according to the evidence, paid a visit to the curious and picturesque spot known as Hugh Lloyd's pulpit, a short distance from Festiniog. The young lady was looking over the rocks, which are unprotected at the spot, when she fell forward and dropped a distance of forty feet into the river, which flows immediately be- neath. Her head alighted upon a rock, and death was apparently instantaneous, the injuries being of a dreadful nature. The jury returned a verdict of acci- dental death.
