Summary Description

An iron-age fort was reused by the Norman invaders who built a ringwork castle in the fort. A stone castle was built in C13. Llansteffan enjoyed borough status and this is remembered in the ceremony of electing a mayor. John Williams, a royal physician, lived in Plas Llansteffan 1840-1926 and his collection of books and manuscripts formed the core collection of the National Library.
