In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Maesgarmon like this:
MAESYGARMON, an ancient battle-field in the S of Flint; 1 mile W of Mold. The British Christians, under St. Germanus, encountered the Saxons and Picts here in 448; advanced against them with a loud shout of Alleluia; and gained over them what is called the "Victoria Alleluiatica. ''A stone column, in commemoration of the victory, was erected on the field in 1736.
Maesgarmon is now part of FLINTSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how FLINTSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Maesgarmon itself, go to Statistics.
