It is accessible at low tide from a causeway. The present building dates back to the 11c. This idyllic church is situated on a small island “Cribanau”, and surrounded by the sea at high tide. The original 11c century church, when the site was part of the mainland, was dedicated to the Irish Saint, St Coemgen, or in modern parlance “St Kevin”. Still part of Anglesey, a Mediaeval Church was later established. Three arches, supported on columns, embedded in the N wall indicate that a 16c aisle once stood on this site. When the causeway was impassable owing to high tides services would be held in one of the specially consecrated rooms at the nearby Plas Llangwyfan. The church was restored in 1893-4. LOC SH336 683.

St Maelog’s Llanfaelog
5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27 SEP 10 - 4 (Services at 10:30 Sundays) Dedicated to St Maelog, there have been many churches on this site which is recorded in the 13c Norwich Taxation. The present church was designed by Henry Kennedy in 1848. During the early part of 2001 the church underwent extensive reordering to serve the 21c, but it retains its character and best features. Designed by architect Adam Voelcker, the interior incorporates works of art by local artists in wood and glass, and a stained glass window designed by art student Tiffany Tate, a previous member of the church choir. A 12c stone font is housed in fine 21c woodwork, with matching altar and lectern in a "Tree of life" design. Glass panels on the same theme have been designed and etched by Bill Swann. There is also a fine St Cecilia window, possibly by Burne Jones. The church yard is of particular interest as this part of the Anglesey coast is windy and rocky, so there are many shipwreck graves, including a barrel mortuary where unidentified bodies were placed until claimed or properly buried.

Dyluniwyd yr eglwys bresennol gan Henry Kennedy yn 1848. Yn ystod misoedd cynnar 2001 ailwampiwyd y lle ar gyfer gofynion y 21G, ond mae'r cymeriad a'r nodweddion gorau yn dal yno. Y pensaer bryd hynny oedd Adam Voelcker, ac mae'r tu fewn yn corffori gweithiau gan artistiaid lleol mewn pren a gwydr, a cheir ffenestr lliw a ddyluniwyd gan fyfyriwr celf, Tiffany Tate, fu'n aelod o gôr yr eglwys. Mae yna fedyddfaen o’r 12G mewn casyn o waith coed cain o'r ganrif bresennol gydag allor a darllenfa gyfatebol mewn dyluniad ‘Pren y Bywyd'. Dyluniwyd paneli gwydr ar yr un thema wedi'i hysgythru gan Bill Swann. Mae yna hefyd ffenestr Santes Cecilia gain, efallai yn waith Burne Jones. Mae'r fynwent o ddiddordeb arbennig gan fod arfordir Môn ar yr ochr yna yn lle gwyntog a chreigiog, felly mae nifer o feddau llongddrylliau yno gan gynnwys corfflan baril lle gosodid cyrff anhysbys nes iddyn nhw gael eu hawlio neu gael eu claddu'n briodol.
