Bodewryd is a village in Anglesey, Wales.
St Mary's Church
The village church is St Mary's, Bodewryd, a small medieval church. It is said by the Diocese of Bangor to be the second-smallest church in Anglesey.[1] The date of construction is unknown, but there was a church on this site in 1254 and the earliest feature to which a date can be given is a doorway, said to be from the 15th century or perhaps about 1500. When the church was restored in 1867 after being struck by lightning, stained glass with Islamic-influenced patterns was included in the windows, a requirement of Lord Stanley of Alderley, the church's benefactor, who was a convert to Islam.[2] The church is still in use, as part of the Church in Wales, and is one of five churches in a combined parish.[3] It is a Grade II listed building, a designation given to "buildings of special interest, which warrant every effort being made to preserve them",[4] in particular because it is a "simple, rural church of Medieval origins."[2]
