St Mechell's Church

St Mechell's Church is dedicated to Saint Mechell. The church is in a rural and scarcely populated part of the Isle of Anglesey, located at the north side of the crossroads in the centre of Llanfechell. The church was first mentioned in the Norwich Taxation of 1254. The oldest parts of the structure are the nave and western parts of the chancel, which both date from the 12th century. The chancel was possibly lengthened in the 13th century, however its current length suggests that the chancel is an "unusually long" structure from the 12th century. The south transept was added in the 14th century, whereas the north transept is of an uncertain date and has since been modernised.
