Background
History
The village of Llaniestyn stands 13 km west of Pwllheli and 42 km south-west of Caernarfon. The church stands in the centre and is dedicated to Saint Iestyn. A Welsh hermit of the 6th or 7th centuries, Llaniestyn Church, and another, St Iestyn's Church, Llaniestyn on Anglesey, are the only two churches dedicated to him. The church dates from the 13th century. Later medieval additions were made in the 14th and 15th centuries. The church was restored by the Bangor Diocesan architect, Henry Kennedy, in 1858.
Architecture
Richard Haslam, Julian Orbach and Adam Voelcker, in their 2009 edition Gywnedd, in the Buildings of Wales series, describe the church as to a "double-nave" plan. Both Cadw and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) consider the large second nave a matching South aisle. In 1724, the vicar Rev. Owen Owen, built a new rectory to the north of the church, which is also now sub-divided and both elements listed at Grade II.
