English: Eglwys y Santes Fair, Llanfairynghornwy Built piecemeal between the 12th and 17th centuries, the church was restored in Victorian times under the guidance of the Rev. James Williams. James was rector here for 51 years, his father having been the vicar for the previous 52 years. A sometime Royal Chaplain at Windsor, John Williams successfully petitioned George IV who was visiting Holyhead on his return from Ireland to allow his son, James, to succeed him at Llanfairynghornwy. James not only conscientiously ministered to the spiritual needs of his parishioners, encouraged farming improvements, established and coxswained the Cemlyn lifeboat but also acted as a prominent member of the group of cultured Anglican vicars who kept the National Eisteddfod of Wales alive at a time when the "Taliban-tendency" within Welsh Nonconformity was hostile to any form of secular culture. Frances in addition to raising a family and caring for the sick and poor was also a highly accomplished water colourist. Not all the incumbents of Llanfairynghornwy were so down to earth as the Williamses. James Williams' successor was Canon Fowc Jones, another scion of a noted Anglesey landed family. An expert on wine and flowers, the bachelor canon, a frequent judge at the Shrewsbury Flower Show was averse to people. Fowc Jones rarely spoke to anyone. When he died in 1922, at his express wish, he was buried in silence.
