The name Prestatyn derives from the Old English preosta (priest) and tun (town), and was recorded in the
Domesday Book as Prestetone.[3][4] Unlike similarly derived names in England, which generally lost their penultimate syllable and became Preston, this villages name
developed a typically Welsh emphasis on the penultimate
syllable and a modication of ton to tyn, as also happened at Mostyn.[5] Although the Domesday Book only
extended to demesnes in England, Prestatyn was included
since it was at that time under English control.
An earth mound, visible in elds to the east of the railway station, beyond Nant Hall, marks the site of an early
wooden Prestatyn castle, probably built by the Norman
Robert de Banastre about 1157, which was destroyed by
the Welsh under Owain Gwynedd in 1167.[6][7] The Banastre family then moved to Bank Hall in Lancashire.
