St Cwyllog's Church, Medieval church in Llangwyllog, United Kingdom
Description
St Cwyllog's Church is a medieval church in Llanddyfnan built with rubble stone walls and massive boulder cornerstones that give it a solid, enduring appearance. The building features a slate roof with stone copings and was later modified with a north doorway and east window from the late 15th century.
History
The church walls date from the early 13th century, marking a period when the area was actively developing its religious infrastructure. Later modifications in the 15th century show how the building continued to serve the community's changing needs over time.

Practical
The building sits roughly 3 miles northwest of Llangefni and can be reached via the B5111 road through quiet countryside. The church remains an active place of worship, so visitors should be respectful of services and community gatherings that take place here.
