Llanwenllwyfo St Gwenllwyfo

 

The Parish

The parish of Llanwenllwyfo lies in the extreme northeast of Anglesey forming quite a stretch of the islands Irish Sea coastline. Llanwenllwyfo is located roughly 4 miles southeast of the small town of Amlwch. There is no village of Llanwenllwyfo as such, its main centre of population is the hamlet of Dulas, wherein sits today's church, and which sits just under 2 miles east of the A5025 road which forms the island's eastern coast-road. The parish is dominated by the estate of Llys Dulas, home of Baron Dinorben, who's mines on nearby Parys Mountain employed many of the men of Llanwenllwyfo parish in mining for copper. Being a coastal community the parish would undoubtedly have exploited the sea for its fish and shell-fish as well as a normal farming regime of mixed pastoral & arable. Today the parish is renowned for its coastal scenery, recently made more accessible by the Anglesey Coastal Trail, and the superb beach of Traeth Dulas which forms the southern edge of the parish. The Afon Goch is the main river draining into the bay but numerous small streams reach the coast more widely. Dulas is sited at around 50 metres above the sea whilst the wider parish is gently undulating to local heights of 161 metres just east of Penysarn. Llanwenllwyfo parish is fairly typically sized for its area, covering just under 1,800 acres it would have supported a population of close to 500 parishioners. Like most of Wales Llanwenllwyfo is not mentioned in Domesday Book which did not cover this area.


The Church

The present church of St Gwenllwyfo in Dulas is not the evenue for these marriages having been built in 1856 at the major expense of Lady Dinorben (allegedly she gave 2/3rds of its cost as a donation). The medieval predecessor lies as a ruin almost on the cliff-tops just northeast of the estate of Llys Dulas. The original site is a circular "llan", indicative of an early Christian site. Despite 18th century restoration the church's roof collapsed in 1950 and at the time of Pevsner's visit the walls only stood to a height of 5 feet. Even by 1950 the parish had moved to the Victorian replacement in Dulas which was certainly more conveniently located for the majority of the parishioners. Of the new church Pevsner says little only to remark upon the fine slender needle spire which adorns and makes it a distinct landmark. The church utilises the lancet style of the Early English Gothic period. Visitors will find the church on a narrow lane leading southeast from Penysarn to the bay, a small semi-circular parking area outside the gates makes for a leisurely visit. The churchyard is small and there are trees close on the southern side limiting that most favourable of aspects.
