Llaniestyn St Iestyn

 

The Parish

The parish of Llaniestyn lies in the extreme east of the island of Anglesey roughly 3 miles north of the coastal town of Beaumaris. Llaniestyn lies roughly a similar distance west of the B5109 road which leads northeastwards from Beaumaris to Llangoed. Llaniestyn is a tiny place, so much so that it doesn't even merit a place-name on today's Ordnance Survey maps being just an eastward extension from the village of Llanddona. A group of farms surround the church and the rest is fields. Despite its rural location it is, in fact, closer to the village of Llanddona than that village's own church which sits on the shores of Red Wharf Bay (Traeth Coch). Like much of the island a mixed farming regime would have been in place with pastures and arable fields in almost equal measure. Llaniestyn is drained eastwards by small streams the short distance to the Irish Sea arriving to the east of Llangoed. Llaniestyn is sited at around 120 metres above the sea whilst land continues to rise westwards to Llanddona at 148 metres. Llaniestyn parish was fairly typically sized for the island, covering roughly 1,700 acres it would have supported a population of close to 250 parishioners. Like most of Wales Llaniestyn is not mentioned in Domesday Book which did not cover the country.


The Church

St Iestyn's church, the dedication refers to a son of Geraint, lies just over a half mile east of Llanddona village along an unnamed lane which becomes a footpath once passing the church and heads towards Llangoed. The churchyard is partly circular, a remnant of an early Christian "llan" and indicative of an early site. The simple church of nave and chancel in one with a western bellcote and a southern transept is dateable to the late 14th century, a window of Decorated styles rather than the typical Perpendicular of that date. The elliptical southern doorway is given a rough date of c1500. The lancet style windows of the transept are later affectation rather than true Early English Gothic styling. The Victorians had their usual restoration, in this case dated to 1865 but in this case it was fairly light and sensitive. Internally the church's highlight is a relief of Iestyn, himself, shown in a 14th century work. A short spur of a roughly surfaced lane leads north toward the church from the point where access lane becomes footpath, passing the farm it widens to a small parking area, the churchyard, surrounded by a low local stone wall is open, uncluttered and with no obstacles for the photographer.
