St Llwydian's Church, Heneglwys

St Llwydian's Church is a Grade II listed church in Heneglwys, Anglesey, Wales. The building dates to 1845, though it was erected using material from an earlier church. The circular font is as old as the 12th century, [1] and the Church in Wales notes that an "unusually high number of 12th century stones" used in the church's construction indicate that the original church stemmed from that period. [2] The doorway in the north wall is of 14th-century origin; the two windows with cinquefoil lights, of the 15th century. [1]

St Twrog's Church is a small rural church at Bodwrog in Anglesey, North Wales. Built in the late 15th century in a medieval style, some alterations have been made but much of the original structure still remains. It has two 15th-century doorways and some 15th-century windows. The bull's head decoration used on the church denotes a connection with the Bulkeleys of Beaumaris, a prominent north Wales family over several centuries. Set in a remote part of the countryside in the middle of Anglesey, it is dedicated to St Twrog, who was active in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. The church's tithes were paid for at least two hundred years to Jesus College, Oxford, which has historically strong links with Wales, and the college at one point built a house for the priest who served St Twrog's and a neighbouring parish.
