SECRET OF LLANFAIR
HUNT FOR PRICELESS DOCUMENT Pi'iceless 1000 year old documents owned by the Marquis pf Anglesey, for which British,, Continental, and American police have been searching since their reported loss ten months ago, have been found—in the British Museum.
The documents are Anglo-Saxon manuscripts relating .to the abbey of Burton-on-Trent, dating back to 956.
They had been kept in a box in the muniment room at Plas Newydd Llanfair, P.G., ancestral home of the marquis on the banks of the Menai Strait, where British and American troops were billeted. A restoration expert, who was working on the documents, gave them to the museum for safe keeping during the war. He died soon after, and the documents were “lost" until an official check-up.
