Yn y fynwent yn Eglwys Pentraeth mae cerrig i gofio am
y rhai a foddwyd pan ddrylliwyd y Royal Charter. Nid oes enw ar y cerrig am nad oedd neb
yn gwybod pwy oeddynt. Talwyd am y cerrig gan Lady Vivian oedd yn byw ym Mhlas Gwyn. Llong hwyliau oedd y Royal Charter. Hwyliau yn ol a blaen rhwng Awstralia a Lerpwl. Cafodd ei chwythu ar greigiau Moelfre mewn corwynt ac fe'i drylliwyd hanner can llath oddi wrth draeth bychan carregog. Boddwyd pob un gwraig a phlentyn oedd arni. Cafwyd rhai o'r cyrff ar draeth Pentraeth ac yn ol yr arferiad yn ystod y ganrif diwethaf fe'u claddwyd ym mynwent y plwyf gan fod y cyrff wedi eu golchi i fyny mewn rhan o'r plwyf. |

In the graveyard at Pentraeth church there are stones
to remember the people who drowned when the Royal Charter was destroyed. There is no name
on the stones as nobody knew who they were. The stones were paid for by Lady Vivien who lived at Plas Gwyn. The Royal Charter was a sailing ship . She sailed back and forth between Australia and Liverpool. She was blown on the rocks at Moelfre in a hurricane and was destroyed fifty yards from a small stony beach. Every woman and child on it was drowned. Some of the bodies were found on the beach at Pentraeth and, according to custom during the last century, they were buried in the parish graveyard as the bodies had been washed ashore in a part of the parish. |
