St Iestyn's Church, Llaniestyn

St Iestyn's Church stands at 128 meters elevation, constructed with rough rubble masonry walls and features slate roofs without division between nave and chancel.

The church foundation dates to January 17, 1101, with significant extensions made during the 14th century and restoration work completed in 1865.

The structure holds a 12th-century cylindrical font decorated with regional carvings and contains a late 14th-century carved effigy stone of St Iestyn.

The church remains active within the Church in Wales, forming part of a combined parish that includes Beaumaris and Llanddona communities.

The memorial stone to Iestyn originates from the same workshop that created another stone at St Pabo's Church in Llanbabo.
