A few views of Ellin's Tower This tower was conceived and commissioned by Mr William Owen Stanley of Penrhos whom was a renowned Minister of Parliament, large landowner and archaeologist. The now famous Ellin’s tower was purposely erected for his wife whose name is of course Ellin. The tower was built in 1867 During the second world war Ellin’s tower was no longer used and therefore fell into disrepair roughly around the early part of 1940.
