Born in 1770, one of England’s earliest romantic poets - William Wordsworth - visited Conwy during a summer vacation. Here, he was inspired to write the poem about a small child who visits her family grave. One verse states:
“And where are they? I pray you tell.”
She answered, “Seven are we,
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.”
A small plaque and wrought iron frame now covers the little grave, which can be seen within the grounds of St Mary’s Parish Church.
