St Figael's Church, Llanfigael, is a redundant church in the hamlet of Llanfugail, Anglesey, Wales. It has been designated by Cadw as a Grade II listed building,[1] and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[2] The church is considered by Cadw to be particularly notable because of its "retaining its early 19th-century interior virtually intact".[1]
History
The present church is thought to date from the 18th century, and it was much rebuilt in 1841.[2] A church has been documented on this site since 1254. The only fabric possibly surviving from this earlier church is to be found in the foundations and part of the walls.[1] Since it was declared redundant, the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches has held a 999-year lease, which was transferred to them on 1 February 2007.[3] After taking it over, the charity has organised the re-covering of the roof, and has re-introduced timber windows designed by Tim Ratcliffe, their design being based on the pre-existing windows.[2]
Architecture
It is a small rectangular church constructed in stone
