caption_attribution_description: English: Eglwys y Santes Fair/St Mary's Church, Tal-y-llyn Tal-y-llyn means "head of the lake" - St Mary overlooks Llyn Padrig (Patrick's Lake) This Grade I building is now cared for by the Friends of Friendless Churches. At one time it was one of five chapels of ease in the parish of Llanbeulan. http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk/churches/talyllyn/talyllyn.htm
context_page_description: Tal-y-llyn is the name of a former township on the island of Anglesey, north-west Wales. It was located about 4.25 kilometres to the northeast of Aberffraw. In 1306, when a survey was carried out of the lands held by the Bishop of Bangor, Tal-y-llyn was recorded as having three free tenants, who together had about 60 acres, and nineteen unfree tenants, who held about 90 acres between them. This would suggest a total population for the community of 110 individuals. However, the population declined in the fourteenth century, the period of the Black Death. St Mary, Tal-y-llyn, the chapel of ease that used to serve the community, remains. The oldest parts of the church date from the twelfth century. St Mary's, which is a Grade I listed building – the highest grade of listing, designating buildings of "exceptional, usually national, interest" – has been in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches since 1999.
