Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll St Mary

 

The Parish

The parish of Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll lies in the east of Anglesey, indeed it forms part of Anglesey's eastern coastline with the Menai Straits. Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll sits at the western end of the Britannia Bridge and is 4 miles west of the Caernarvonshire town of Bangor. Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll sits on the old line of the busy A55 road which connects Anglesey & Holyhead to Chester, this road fortunately bypasses Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll to its north. Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll is a substantial village which with a small wharf would have largely earned its living from agriculture and the locally quarried stone, a small port would have been devoted to that commodity. Today Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll attracts fame & notoriety as the place with the longest station name in Britain "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" graces its station and has become a tourist attraction in itself. A number of small streams drain the parish to the Menai Straits emerging by the wharf. Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll is sited on a low hill at around 50 metres above the sea, the church is somewhat lower (20 metres). By the standards of the island of Anglesey Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll was a relatively small parish, it covered almost 750 acres and would have supported a population of around 600 parishioners. Like most of Wales Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll is not mentioned in Domesday Book which did not cover the area.


The Church

St Mary's church sits almost on the banks of the Menai Straits and is accessed by a narrow lane which runs under the rail line from the main street to a large parking area. Sadly this church is a Victorian replacement for its mediaeval predecessor. Built in 1853 in the local green stone it consists of nave, chancel and a southwestern steepled tower augmented by a southern porch. The building follows the Decorated Gothic style characteristic of the early 14th century. The church is clearly of little architectural interest as Pevsner dismisses it in just 4 lines. The church is accessed by an arched metal gateway and the site is relatively open with few restrictions to photography.


The Records

Register No Covering Dates Deposited With Register Style Quality Standard Comments
1 26th May 1754 - 25th August 1786 Anglesey Archives - Reference WPE/1/74/1/1 Extant composite register Grade 3 Register - frequently poor to read and likelihood of some misreads The records are merged within tracts of baptisms and burials making it difficult to ascertain that all entries have been located.
2 22nd May 1757 - 17th January 1794 Library of Wales - Reference Bishop's Transcripts Grade 3 Register - frequently poor to read and likelihood of some misreads There is no surviving register for this period.
3 13th October 1795 - 26th December 1810 Anglesey Archives - Reference WPE/1/74/1/2 Plain unruled book containing Marriages Grade 4 Register - many records difficult to read and strong likelihood of misreads and maybe many The register has suffered extensive damage with eroded edges to the pages causing missing data. Extensive use has been made of Bishop's Transcripts to attempt to recover from these difficulties.
4 14th May 1813 - 6th April 1837 Anglesey Archives - Reference WPE/1/74/1/4 Standard preprinted and prenumbered Rose Style Marriage register Grade 3 Register - a few entries tricky to read leading to a possibility of some misreads None
