Llangadwaladr
Llangadwaladr is a small village in south-west Anglesey, Wales, located around 2 miles east of Aberffraw and 3 miles south of Gwalchmai. It is part of the community of Bodorgan.
The village is a short distance from the ancient llys of the kings of Gwynedd, and is reputed to have been their royal burial ground. The inscription on one monumental stone in the church reads "Catamanus rex sapientisimus opinatisimus omnium regum", suggesting that Cadfan ap Iago King of Gwynedd, is buried there. One of the windows of St Cadwaladr's church dates from the 12th century. Unusually, the advowson of the benefice lay with the monarch rather than the bishop, until Disestablishment.
Eryl Stephen Thomas, bishop of Monmouth and subsequently of Llandaff was born in this parish.
