It's a good guess Neill but it's not in Ysbyty Ifan

Another photo may give a clue to where it is

He was a radical Liberal politician and had been knighted.          He was also named twice!      ???

You'll see it in the new Church but what I'm looking for is the name of the Church and it's location

Steeeeeve     I bet that you have driven past it many many times.       ;D


It's on a main A road and stands out when you drive past it.     I wonder which A road though?      ???

Another big clue:-   The name of the Church's location starts with the letter LL          ;D

Last photo and clue.   There are two Churches of the same name in this location and Agricola is believed to have come here in AD 78 long before the old Church was built

Well done both of you because it must have been a difficult one.

The Church is St Nidan's in Llanidan and can be seen on the right hand side as you get near to Brynsiencyn when you are travelling from Menai Bridge.    The memorial in the Churchyard is of Sir Ellis Jones Ellis-Griffith

St Nidan's Church, Llanidan is a 19th-century parish church near the village of Brynsiencyn, in Anglesey, north Wales. Built between 1839 and 1843, it replaced the Old Church of St Nidan, Llanidan, which needed significant repair, providing a place of Anglican worship nearer to the village than the old church. Some items were moved here from the old church, including the 13th-century font, two bells from the 14th and 15th century, and a reliquary thought to hold the remains of St Nidan. The tower at the west end has been described as "top heavy" and looking like "a water tower".[2]

Sir Ellis Jones Ellis-Griffith, 1st Baronet, PC, KC was a British barrister and radical Liberal politician. He was born Ellis Jones Griffith

Here is an easy one, which we visited last Saturday as part of the Open Doors event.

* Ian, can you please rotate.

FYI, I tried and it did not move for me.
