Church Micro - Llanidan
A nice, straightforward Church Micro multi-cache at Sant Nidan's Parish Church in Brynsiencyn.
The parish church of St Nidan was formerly located approximately 0.5 km to the south-east. Now known as the "Old Church", the building is largely ruinous, although a small chapel survives and is occasionally opened to the public. The present church was built in the 18th century, around 1,200 years after the original church was founded, and continues to be used for worship today.
To find this cache, you will first need to visit the grave of Elis Jones Elis-Gruffydd, an influential MP for Anglesey during the first half of the 20th century (at the posted coordinates).
Elis-Gruffydd played an important role in steering the Welsh Church Act 1914 through Parliament. The Act was significant as one of the first pieces of legislation to apply solely to Wales, rather than to the wider entity of "England and Wales". It disestablished the Church of England in Wales and led to the creation of the Church in Wales.
Take the first two dates on his gravestone to represent:
