St Peter's Church

St Peter's Church is in a rural location along a narrow lane near the village of Llanbedrgoch in Anglesey, north Wales. The village itself is about 4 mi from Llangefni, the county town. Built on raised ground inside a churchyard, access to which is through a lychgate, The date of the earliest church on the site of St Peter's is unknown. The chancel and the nave are thought to date from the 15th century, and a transept was added to the east end of the church probably in the 17th century, to form a cross groundplan. The church was restored twice in the 19th century, in 1840 and again in 1885; St Peter's is still used for worship by the Church in Wales. It is one of three churches in the…

St Peter's is built from rubble masonry, with large stones at the corners of the transepts and sandstone dressings around some of the apertures. A survey of church plate within the Bangor diocese in 1906 recorded an Elizabethan silver chalice from about 1575, just over 6 in tall, and a plain silver paten and a silver flagon both dated 1904–05. The mark "IL" within a shield on the chalice probably refers to John Lynglay, an Elizabethan goldsmith from Chester; it was one of four chalices in the diocese to be marked in this way. The survey also noted that the church no longer had the pewter flagon and dish recorded in the church terriers between 1788 and 1821.
