St Cynhaearn's Church, Medieval church in Dolbenmaen, Wales
St Cynhaearn's Church stands on Ynyscynhaearn, a former island in Llyn Ystumllyn, connected to the mainland by an ancient stone causeway.
The church dates from 1101, featuring a nave from the 12th century, a north transept added in the 16th century, and a south transept built in 1622.
The churchyard contains the memorial of John Ystumllyn, an African man brought to Wales by the Wynne family, marking multicultural connections in Welsh history.
The Friends of Friendless Churches organization maintains the building and offers information about visiting this Grade II* listed structure through their website.
The church houses an 1834 chamber organ by Flight and Robson, preserved in its original Gothic case, purchased for £30 at the time.
