BARON-HILL, the seat of Sir Richard Bulkeley, Bart., in Anglesey; on the coast, 1½ mile N of Beaumaris. The mansion comprises part of a structure of 1618 by Sir Richard Bulkeley; but consists chiefly of a fine edifice, built by the last Lord Bulkeley, after designs by Mr. S. Wyatt. The grounds are beautiful, and are liberally open to the public; and they contain, a short distance from the house, under a monumental recess, the stone coffin of Joan, daughter of King John of England, and wife of Llewelyn-ap-Jorwerth, prince of North Wales, originally placed in the neighbouring priory of Llanvaes, and brought hither in 1808 by Lord Bulkeley.
