 |
| Eglwys y Plwyf. Mae Eglwys St. Tegfan yn hen iawn. Cafodd ei hadeiladu yn yr Oesoedd Canol a’i hatgyweirio yn ystod Oes Fictoria. Ail-adeiladwyd yr eglwys ym1811 gan Is-iarll R. B. Bulkely ac o’r herwydd ef oedd yn gyfrifol am apwyntio y ficer. Pan ail - agorwyd yr eglwys roedd lle i 252 o bobl i eistedd ynddi ac o’r rhain roedd 120 o’r seddau yn rhai di-dal. Rhaid oedd talu am y gweddill. Estynwyd yr adeilad ym1831 ond caewyd hi drachefn ar Fedi’r 8ed, 1909 oherwydd bod y waliau yn dadfeilio. Wrth eu hatgeweirio darganfuwyd nad oedden nhw wedi defnyddio sment i’w hadeiladu - clai yn unig oedd yn eu cadw hefo’u gilydd! Yn yr Eglwys ceir ffenesrti wedi eu cyflwyno er cof am Hugh Roberts, Glan Menai a theulu Williams Craig y Don. Yn y fynwent mae pum carreg fedd a godwyd er cof am rai o'r bechgyn a fu farw ay y llong hyfforddi ‘Y Clio’. |
The Parish Church. St. Tegfan Church is very old. It was built in the Middle Ages. It was repaired during the reign of Queen Victoria. The church was re-built in1811 by Viscount R. B. Bulkely and as a result was responsibile for appointing the vicar. When the church was re-opened, there was room for 252 to sit. Ot these, 120 of the seats were free. The rest had to be paid for. The building was extended in 1831, but was temporarily closed again on September 8th, 1909 because of the crumbling walls. On investigation, it was found that cement had not been used during their construction - clay was the only thing holding them together! There are windows dedicated to Hugh Roberts, Glan Menai and the Williams family of Craig y Don in the church. In the churchyard are five gravestones erected in memory of some of the boys who died on the training ship ‘Y Clio’ |
