Old Church of St Afran, St Ieuan and St Sannan, Llantrisant

The Old Church of St Afran, St Ieuan and St Sannan stands in a quiet field on Anglesey, reached by a narrow lane near a working farm. Built in the late 14th century, it has a simple rectangular plan with a south chapel added in the 17th century. A small gabled bellcote crowns the west end, and the east window shows two trefoiled lights with a tiny shield window between. The south wall carries a round-headed doorway, a single rectangular window and a double window topped by a rough stone. The north wall has a plain doorway and a single square window. The church is cared for by the Friends of Friendless Churches after being restored in 1976–77. Inside, stone slabs pave the floor and 18th-century box pews line the nave. The altar is a slate slab on piers with a simple cross set into the wall behind. A 12th-century font from Buckinghamshire now stands in the nave, moved here when its original church became a house. Wall memorials and a floor gravestone on a chest add to the quiet atmosphere. Visitors walk among the low stone walls and the simple furnishings, noticing the contrast between the medieval plan and the later fittings. The slate roof and plain windows let in steady light, while the rough stones and deep font recall older times. The isolated setting, away from the modern village, makes the small building feel like a quiet witness to centuries of change.
