Llanfwrog is a village and ancient parish in the Talybolion hundred of Anglesey. It lies about four miles to the north-east of Holyhead. The village lies near the coast about a mile east of Gribin Beach. A country road connects it with the A5025 road, one mile east, and Llanfaethlu, approximately 2½ miles to the north.
According to tradition, the village was founded by St Mwrog. The only other place that is associated with the name of a saint Mwrog is Llanfwrog, Denbighshire.
The church belonged to the rectory of the parish of Llan by the eighteenth century.[1]
