Fascinating visit today with fellow North Wales guides to St Cybi's Church in Caergybi/Holyhead. The church, overlooking the modern day port & founded in the 6th century on the site of a rare 4th century Roman coastal fortress, has recently undergone a major restoration project.

New mosaics by help to tell its story.

Stunning in the Victorian Stanley Chapel pays tribute to its major benefactors, including a particularly poignant dedication to two WWII survivors tragically lost in an accident.

Thanks to all who shared their knowledge so generously today.
