Beaumaris Gaol Visitors Book, 1862-78 [front cover, image 1 of 3]

Beaumaris Gaol Visitors Book, 1862-78 [front cover, image 1 of 3] This 'Visitors Book' lists the names of individuals who visited prisoners at Beaumaris Gaol between 1862 and 1878. The following pages show the names of those individuals who were allowed to visit Richard Rowlands, a prisoner who had been found guilty of the murder of his father-in-law at Llanfaethlu. Rowlands was sentenced to death and his public execution in April 1862 was the second and the last to be carried out at the new Gaol at Beaumaris. In the few days before he was hanged, Rowlands was allowed a number of visitors, including his close relatives and several ministers of religion who came to pray with him.
