CAERNARVON'S ANCIENT WALLS  

CAERNARVON’S history is rooted deep in (he long distant past  

and lew other towns in Britain can boast ot continuity of  

habitation for over two thousand years,  

Evidence of the Roman; invasion of Wales can be seen in the  

fort which thev established on the hill above Caernarvon between  

the years 75-80 A.D. and which they named Segontium. Fot about  

three hundred years unit of the Roman occupation,army, consisting  

of 800 men, was stationed at the fort, and to the local inhabitants  

it must have seemed that the enemy occupation would never end.  

Following the Norman Conquest of 1066, William the Conqueror  

granted North Wales to Hugh Lupus at rent of £4O per annum.  

To secure his possessions, he built several castles across the  

country, one of which was at Caernarvon between the years 1088  

and 1098. The Norman occupation of Wales, however, ceased  

about the end of the 11th century, and Caernarvon was subsequently  

administered by the native Welsh princes.  

The military importance of Caernarvon was recognised by  

Edward (1272-1307) when he established great fortress there on  

the site of the old Norman castle. In 1284 he granted to Caernarvon  

its foundation charter which stipulated that the constable of  

the castle was also to be mayor of the town, and that the  

townsfolk were to elect annually from amongst themselves two  

bailiffs to assist the mayor —a custom which was maintained until  

1835.  

Fortifications were built around the town, and although  

Caernarvon has long since, outgrown its encircling walls and towers,  

they still remain as outstanding features of this ancient town.  

Near the castle is bronze statpe of the Right Hon. D. Lloyd  

<George, which was unveiled by Mr. W. M. Hughes, when Prime  

Minister of Australia.  

No. 361: the Homeland Series by the House of Seppelt.
