Bryngwran is a village and community in the Welsh county of Anglesey, located on the A5 London to Holyhead trunk road. It lies west of Llangefni, south west of Llannerch-y-medd and south east of Holyhead, and includes the villages of Bryngwran, Capel Gwyn and Engedi. At the 2001 census the community had a population of 781, increasing to 894 at the 2011 election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population 2011 )〕 Saint Peulan's Church stands in an isolated position at Llanbeulan, in the south east of the community. A medieval building, it partly dates from the 12th century, but was extended in the 14th, and restored in the mid-19th century. The gritstone font dates from late 12th century. It is considered an example of a "rural medieval church retaining its simple character" and is Grade II * listed. Pandy Treban, a former fulling mill in the north of the community, and the 18th-century bridge at Pont Factory Cymunod, over the Afon Crigyll on the border with Bodedern, are Grade II listed. Alun Michael, the First Minister of Wales and leader of Welsh Labour from May 1999 to February 2000, was born in Bryngwran in 1943.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.welshlabour.org.uk/mps/rt-hon-alun-michael-mp/ )〕 A former journalist and youth worker, he was elected to the House of Commons in 1987.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/person/3610/alun-michael )〕 As a Home Office minister, he was responsible for steering through Parliament the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, which introduced anti-social behaviour orders. In 2001, he was appointed Minister of State for Rural Affairs, where he oversaw the introduction of the Hunting Act 2004, which banned the use of dogs to hunt wild mammals. Michael resigned from Parliament in October 2012 to stand as Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, to which he was elected the following month. ==Governance== An electoral ward in the same name exists.
