Wonderful parish church!

St Mary and St Bodfan's Church in Llanaber is a stunning example of 13th Early English Gothic architecture, built on a far earlier Celtic site. The church overlooks the sea, and I am sure on a sunny day the view would be fantastic. A church has stood on this exposed site since the 5th or 6th century and carved Celtic stones have been found from this time. That original church would have been timber, wattle and daub. The Normans rebuilt St Bodfan's church in stone, and rather than eliminate the earlier dedication they simply added St Mary to it, giving Llanaber church its dual dedication to St Mary and St Bodfan. The church features a six layer moulded archway, made of sand stone. Inside the Norman influence is evident in the clerestory lancets and arcades. The timber roofs are 16th century and include a small amount of panelling above the sanctuary. The graveyard is mostly packed with Victorian stones, covered in lichen and very weather beaten. There is also a large number of angels, leading to some very picturesque shots with the sea in the background.
