St Eleth's Church, Neo-classical parish church in Amlwch, Wales
The stone church features a prominent tower at the west end with a clock and bell chamber behind large arched windows.
The church, completed in 1800, replaced an earlier structure from the 6th century established by Saint Elaeth on the same location.
The building reflects the prosperity of Amlwch's copper mining era, with the Copper Mines Company providing substantial funding for its construction.
The interior includes a gallery, baptistry, meeting rooms, and a 19th-century stained glass window in the eastern section.
The church houses two historical bells, with one dating from 1687 and the other from 1820.
