St Figael's Church, Llanfigael

It's a graveyard with a nice looking little church. Not much else you can say about it, tbh

St Figael Church in Llanfigael is a small, rural church which has retained an almost complete Georgian interior. The current church was built in the early 18th century, but a church has stood on the site since at least the 12th century. Reconstruction in the early 19th century did not remove or update the Georgian interior and the church retains the character of the countless similar rural Welsh churches lost during the Victorian Era. When the church became redundant, it was cared for by Reverend Edgar Jones for many years until Friends of Friendless Churches took over. In 2007, restoration efforts repaired the roof with local Penrhyn slate. Edgar died in 2009, a few months before completion of the works. The church features a collection of box pews and open-backed benches. The pulpit is larger than the altar, perhaps an effort to compromise with the growing Methodist community in the early 19th century. Most interesting is the trio of fonts. The oldest is 12th century from the Church of St Ynghendl. Another is 14th century. The most unusual is a timber panelled pedestal from the 19th century, a portable cupboard fontlet taken to those unable to make it to church to take communion.
