Beaumaris is an area, and the former county town, of Anglesey, Wales, at the eastern entry to the Menai Strait, the tidal river separating Anglesey from the coast of North Wales. At the 2011 census, its population was 1,938. Beaumaris was the port of enrollment for all vessels in North West Wales, covering every harbour on Anglesey and all the ports from Conwy to Pwllheli. Shipbuilding was a significant market in Beaumaris. This was centred on Gallows Point-- a close-by spit of land extending into the Menai Strait concerning a mile west of the town. Gallows Point had actually initially been called "Osmund's Eyre" yet was relabelled when the community gallows was erected there-- together with a "Dead House" for the corpses of bad guys sent off in public implementations. Later on, hangings were executed at the community gaol and also the bodies buried in a lime-pit within the curtilage of the gaol. Among the last detainees to hang at Beaumaris released a curse prior to he passed away-- announcing that if he was innocent the 4 faces of the church clock would never show the same time.
