Tal-y-llyn, Anglesey
Tal-y-llyn is a former township on the island of Anglesey. It was located about 2½ miles north-east of Aberffraw.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3] St Mary's, which is a Grade-I listed building, has been in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches since 1999.[4][5]
