 | | Francis Edward Mostyn, fourth son of Sir Pyers Mostyn, 8th Bart, was vicar apostolic of Wales in 1895, bishop of Menevia in 1898, and from 1921 onwards, Roman Catholic archbishop of Cardiff. |
 | | The end of the Mostyn connection with Talacre came with the deaths of Sir Pyers Mostyn, 9th Bart, in 1912, and Sir Pyers Charles Mostyn, 10th Bart, in 1917, aged 21, which compelled the trustees to sell the mansion and estate in 1919. |
 | | According to the 1873 return of owners of land, Sir Pyers Mostyn of Talacre, baronet, owned an estimated 4,184 acres, all in Flintshire, with an estimated annual rental of £10,659. |
