"The Penmon Society"
« on: Sunday 26 December 10 09:29 GMT (UK) »
I received the attached crest relating to The Penmon Society as a wonderful Christmas present. I have a great interest in the history of Penmon, but had not heard of this Society until now.
Can anybody give me any details please?

That seems to represent the Augustinian Priory at penmon off the coast of Anglesey.

This site will give more details.
