Visit Plas Newydd
A lovely 'black and white' house with lovely garden - its a small Elizabethan manor with black and white wooden decoration around it - its lovely wooden interior is off limits to flash photography but you can buy postcards and souvenir book with photos in it from the guardian inside. It was owned and lived in by two single women - they lived together for many years since one ran away from her family in Ireland who were going to make her marry someone she didnt want to marry - so the couple did amazingly well, both able to support themselves financially to live idnependently and away from the society restraints of the time. They were very close, many try to say they were early lesbians but its written that those that knew them knew them to be very close friends as sisters - but regardless they had many friends and visitors of a notable circle for example the Duke of Wellington often came to visit.
They were buried together in the churchyard behind the Hand Hotel.
