Anglesey, the abandoned church of Gwredog - August 2008

The long abandoned Gwredog Church near the town of Llanerchymedd served mainly the families of the two farms - Gwredog Isaf (Lower) and Gwredog Uchaf (Higher). The only memorials and gravestones now remaining are to the Lewis families of these farms.

The local farmer thought that under the nearby man-made reservoir (Llyn Alaw) that a monastery had been submerged when the lake was made. My maps (pre lake) do not seem to bear this out, but there is normally an element of truth in most local stories.
