# St Figael, Llanfigael

St Figael is a Grade II redundant church in the hamlet of Llanfigael, Anglesey, now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. Cadw lists it for retaining its early nineteenth-century interior virtually intact.

## Overview

A church here appears in the 1254 Norwich Taxation. Cadw notes that little of the medieval building survives beyond the font and perhaps foundations and walling. The present small rectangular church of rubble under old slates, with a rendered west bellcote, is probably early nineteenth-century; Samuel Lewis in 1833 found only a small portion of ruins remaining, and Wikipedia records a substantial rebuild in 1841. The east window has a four-centred arch; other openings are square-headed. The bell is said to be inscribed GOD SAVE THIS CHURCH 1642.

The unusual interior places the pulpit on the north wall and has no separate chancel. Early nineteenth-century box pews line the north, south and east walls, with simple benches at the west. The four-bay roof has exposed rafters, purlins and collared trusses. Fonts include a fourteenth-century octagonal bowl, a twelfth-century font from St Ynghenedl, and a rare cupboard font. The Friends took a 999-year lease on 1 February 2007, re-covered the roof and reintroduced timber windows designed by Tim Ratcliffe.
