LlangadwaladrAround the time that Aberffraw was the capital of Gwynedd, this small village was said to have been the burial place f the Welsh princes. The Parish Church of St Cadwaladr was founded in AD615 as part of a royal monastery, and was probably built of wattle and daub – wattle walls covered in dried mud to provide stability and waterproofing – as the village’s early name was Eglwys Ail, meaning ‘wattle church’. The present building dates from the 12th century, andhas a memorial stone to Cadfan, King of Gwynedd, who died in AD625. It is embedded in the church wall, and reads King Cadfan, the Wisest and Most Renowned of All Kings Lies Here. Cadwaladr was Cadfan’s grandson, and he died in Rome n AD682. His body was brought here for burial. |
