The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
Anglesey (pre-1974 traditional (England and Wales))
Parish church
The church was rebuilt in 1865 on the old site with the old materials. Remaining from the Romanesque period are carved stones in the E wall and carved voussoirs over N and S doorways, a 12thc. inscribed memorial slab set in the sill of W. window, and a 12thc. font.
Redundant parish church, formerly chapel of ease
The church was formerly a chapel of ease to Llanbeulan church, which stands 1½ miles to the N. St Mary's has a small medieval nave, but with later door and windows; chancel rebuilt in the 16thc and a S chapel added in the 17thc. The 12thc font was the only Romanesque carving when the church was visited, but it was moved to Llanfaelog church in the following year when Talyllyn was made redundant. Since it was recorded and photographed before that date it appears in the Talyllyn entry here.
