St Fflewin's Church, Llanfflewin

St Fflewin's Church, Llanfflewin (sometimes referred to as St Fflewyn's Church, Llanfflewyn) is a small rural church, situated by a farm in Anglesey, north Wales. The first church on the site is said to have been built by St Fflewin in 630, but the present building has no structural features dating from before the 18th century, although the church has a font from the 14th or 15th century and part of an inscribed medieval gravestone has been reused in a window sill.
The church is still used for worship by the Church in Wales, and is one of five churches in a combined benefice. It is a Grade II listed building, a national designation given to "buildings of special interest, which warrant every effort being made to preserve them", because it is a "simple rural church built on Medieval foundations". A 2006 guide to the churches of Anglesey said that it is a "typical, well-preserved rural church and is well worth a visit."〔
==History and location==
St Fflewin, to whom the church is dedicated, was a Christian who was active in the 6th century. He is described as the son of Ithel Hael, who came to Britain from Armorica (present-day northern France) towards the end of the 5th century. He established a Christian site at the location of the present church in 630 (according to the Diocese of Bangor and a 2006 guide to the churches of Anglesey), although a 19th-century guide to Wales by the writer Samuel Lewis says that it was sometime early in the 7th century.〔 No part of a building from that period survives. There was a church here by 1254, since it is recorded in the Norwich Taxation of that year. The present building is thought by Cadw (the Welsh Assembly Government body responsible for the built heritage of Wales) to be "probably built upon Medieval foundations", albeit that the earliest dateable feature of the structure is from the late 18th century.〔 After some repairs in the early part of the 19th century, St Fflewin's was partially rebuilt ("judiciously", says a 2009 guide to the buildings of north-west Wales)〔 in 1864 and further restored during the 1930s.〔〔 The Welsh poet and clergyman Morris Williams (better known by his bardic name "Nicander") was rector here from 1859 until his death in 1874; he was buried at Llanrhuddlad, one of the other Anglesey churches for which he had responsibility.〔
The church is isolated, located in the countryside of north Anglesey by a farm, about from Llanrhuddlad, in an area of Anglesey known as Mynydd Mechell.〔〔 Llanfflewin takes its name from the church: the Welsh word ' originally meant "enclosure" and then "church", so "Llanfflewin" means "Church of Fflewin".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Religion and creed in place names )〕 It is set within a raised circular enclosure, with an arched lychgate (possibly of 17th-century date). It is still in use for worship, and belongs to the Church in Wales, as one of five churches in the combined benefice of Llanfechell with Bodewryd with Rhosbeirio with Llanfflewin and Llanbadrig.〔 It is within the deanery of Twrcelyn, the archdeaconry of Bangor and the Diocese of Bangor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Deanery of Twrcelyn: St Fflewin, Llanfflewin )〕 As of 2012, the rector is Canon G W Edwards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Church in Wales: Benefices )
