Church (Anglican)

Church rebuilt on a medieval site in the 1870s by an Anglesey architect, R.G. Thomas of Menai Bridge. Little of the medieval fabric remains apart from the south door and the fifteenth-century font. The church has set of stained glass windows by different makers dating from the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century.
