Thank you, William!
I was not sure who exactly this COA was representing. They seem to still be very big in the land ownership department. What an incredibly beautiful area this is located. The castles & estates are quite phenomenal!
Sadly, on a down note... I do see this branch was also invested in the slave trade.

Great find!
The stained glass window at Bodysgallen Hall in Llandudno, Conwy, Wales, featuring the Douglas-Pennant and Lloyd-Mostyn coats of arms, reflects a union between two influential Welsh families with deep ties to North Wales’s aristocracy, landownership, and civic life.
One key figure represented is Hon. Pamela Georgina Lloyd-Mostyn, née Douglas-Pennant, born 28 May 1863 in London. She was the daughter of George Douglas-Pennant, 2nd Baron Penrhyn, owner of Penrhyn Castle and a prominent figure in the Welsh slate industry, and Pamela Blanche Douglas-Pennant. On 4 April 1889, Pamela married Colonel Hon. Henry Richard Howel Lloyd-Mostyn, son of Edward Lloyd-Mostyn, 2nd Baron Mostyn—a family closely associated with Mostyn Hall and the development of Llandudno.
Pamela's marriage linked the estates and influence of Penrhyn and Mostyn, and she became known for her contributions to civic life, particularly during wartime, earning an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). She died on 19 July 1949, aged 86.
