A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
GOGARTH, a ruin on the SE side of Great Ormes Head in Carnarvon; 4½ miles NNW of Conway. The building appears to have been large, partly mediæval, partly earlier; and is thought by some to have been a monastic cell to Conway abbey, -by others, to have been a palace of the bishops of Bangor.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
