St Cybi's Church, Medieval church in Holyhead, United Kingdom.

The church includes intricate stone carvings, a two-stage west tower with pyramidal roof, and battlemented parapets constructed from brown stone materials.

St Cybi established this religious site around 540 AD within a Roman coastal fort, with the current structure dating from the 13th century.

The Stanley Chapel contains an Italian marble monument by Hamo Thorneycroft and stained glass windows designed by Morris & Co with Edward Burne-Jones.

The church offers ramp access upon request, maintains a souvenir shop, and stands within walking distance of Holyhead's train station and bus stops.

The church grounds contain Eglwys Y Bedd, a 14th-century chapel that housed Holyhead's first school, founded by Revd Thomas Ellis in 1748.
