About This Book
The volume records the restoration of the coastal parish church at Holyhead and the commemorative sermon delivered after its 1879 rebuilding, noting a new south aisle and memorial glazing donated by local families. It combines antiquarian description of the island—cromlechs, monoliths, hive-shaped huts, submerged tree trunks—and accounts of shipwrecks and rugged coastal scenery. It surveys early Christian evidence in Anglesey, citing found medals and mission traditions, and outlines the organization of local Christian communities, collegiate clergy, and episcopal arrangements. It sketches post-Roman struggles and regional dynasties and presents the traditional sixth-century foundation of the church. Throughout, local family history and archaeological lore are interwoven to place the church within landscape and faith.
