The little church in the sea

This tiny medieval church has been weathering storms off the island of Anglesey for hundreds of years. First built in the 12th century, the land on which St Cwyfan’s stood would have been attached to the Welsh island back then, sitting between the bays of Porth China and Porth Cwyfan. But over the centuries, the sea has eaten away at the land surrounding the church, creating the tiny islet of Cribinau and cutting it off from Anglesey at high tides. Presumably that is why it is known locally as eglwys bach y mor - the little church in the sea.
