The ancient church of St Patrick in Llanbadrig, Anglesey. Information found on https://cemaes.wales/local-places/llanbadrig-church/ Legend says that in 440 AD a celtic bishop called Patrick was travelling from Iona to Ireland when he was shipwrecked off the coast of Anglesey. Having made his way ashore from the small islet now known as Ynys Badrig (St. Patrick’s Island), the bishop took refuge in a small cave with a nearby well. Patrick commemorated his escape from danger by founding the original Eglwys Llanbadrig – Saint Patrick’s Church. St Patrick’s Cave is still there, marked by a plaque up on the cliffs overlooking the spot, but the way to the cave itself is steep and dangerous.

A red and blue stained glass windows in St Patrick's church, Llanbadrig. This is the oldest Christian church in Wales. Henry Stanley, 3rd Baron of Alderley and owner of the Penrhos Estate on Holy Island funded a refurbishment in 19th century. He was a convert to Islam and he stipulated that the stained glass windows should show geometric designs instead of traditional biblical scenes and characters.
