NEWMARKET, a parish, in the union of HOLYWELL, Media division of the hundred of PRESTATYN, county of FLINT, NORTH WALES, on the old line of road between Chester and Holyhead, 7 miles (W. N. W.) from Holywell; containing 713:inhabitants. Pope Nicholas' Taxation this place is called Rywlyvnwyd,. by which name it is also mentioned in a record so late as the middle of the sixteenth century, having been formerly a chapelry in the parish of Disserth. According to Mr. Pennant, its ancient name was Trelawnyd, " for which," says that distinguished antiquary, 61 I can find no satisfactory reason." He also hazards the conjecture, from the numerous tumuli and other sepulchral memorials visible in the neighbourhood, that it might be the scene of the slaughter of the Ordovices, the aboriginal inhabitants of this district, by the Romans under Agricola. In the early part of the last century the village was much enlarged through the care and exertions of John Wynne, Esq., of Gop, to whom the estate then belonged; and it attained the distinction of &market-town, the market, now in disuse, having been held on Saturday; but the pine has greatly declined. from its former conaequence, and now presents only the appearance of a village, though of considerable size. The parish contains about 943 acres; and lead-ore abounds in it, but the works have been discontinued. Fairs were once held on the last Saturday in April; the third Saturday in July, the fourth Saturday in October, and the seeond Saturday in December.. The petty-sessions for the hundred take place here. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed with £200 royal bounty,. and in, the patronage. of the Bishop of St.. Asaph, who, as archdeacon, holds the rectory in commendam, and receives all tithes: the net income,,previously £90, was recently angineuted, with £70 per annum, by the bishop. The churchE dedicated to St. Michael, is a small structure. of modern date, standing within a spacious cemetery, finely shaded by lofty trees; about twenty yards from the principal entrance, on the south side, stands a tall and very beautiful cross, the upper part elegantly sculptured in high relief. There are places of worship for Independents, Calvinistic Methodists, and Wesley-ans. A bequest of £40 per annum, for clothing, teaching, and apprenticing twenty poor children, was made by John Wynne, Esq., of Coppolency, in 1713, which having become the subject of a suit in Chancery, has not yet been appropriated to the purpose contemplated by the worthy donor, though the accumulation of arrears, as ascertained in 1800, was then found to be £2519. 15. 4., and though the benefactor declared in his will, that if any let or hindrance to the quiet enjoyment of the rent-charge should be given, its amount should be doubled; he also conferring a right of distress, if it should remain unpaid, on any part of the premises, which consist of numerous houses, fields, 'and tenements, yielding a rent of above £200 per annum. Dr. Daniel Williams, a dissenting minister, founded a charity school in every county in North Wales, of which that of Flintahire was fixed here; these he endowed with £8 per annum each, except that of Wrexham, his native place, to which he gave £15, and provided a fund for apprenticing the children, with a premium of £5 for each: this school is held in the dissenting chapel. There are three day schools, one of which, containing 30 children, is endowed with £25 a year; the other two afford instruction to about 65 children at their parents' expense. Various denominations of dissenters gratuitously teach about 280 males and females in three Sunday schools. Among Ai, tumuli and other relics of antiquity which lie thickly scattered throughout this interesting district, that called Copa'r'leni, or Gop Paulini, crowning the summit of a mountain about half amile above the village, is the chief: it is composedof loose stones covering an acre and a half of ground, and is about twelve yards in height; and although different conjectures have been raised regarding the purpose of its formation, there can be little doubt that it was erected over the remains of some renowned warrior or chieftain, slain in battle, and may have. served, in later time, as a beacon, since it commands a view of the whole range of encamp, merits on the south and west, the Irish Sea on the north, and the estuaries of the Dee and Mersey on the east. Part of the brow of the bill is termed Bryn-y-Saethau, or " the Hill of Arrows," intimating that it was the station of the archers in some of those engagements which, in the early period of British history, deluged this neighbourhood with blood, but the direful calamities of which have not ileen recorded by the historian, and are now involved ie theobscurity of ages. A greater number of these tumuli, of the ordinary size, may be seen in the trace intervening between this place and Caerwys4han ilk any other in North Wales; several of them, having been opened, were 'found to contain urns, in which were burnt ashes, charcoal, Svc., and many hundreds have been levelled in agricultural operations. Clawdd Offs, or Offa's Dyke, passes very near the village, and forms the boundary line between this parish and that of Llanasaph.
