With its oldest portion built in 1811 this cannot be a medieval church.
Its location at GR 605 778 is well removed from that of the former Llanfaes Priory at about GR 609 774

Editor's response: According to the Buildings of Wales volume for Gwynedd the nave and chancel include thirteenth- and fourteenth-century fabric. There are also a number of eighteenth-century memorials testifying to the existence of the church prior to the building of the tower.
