A cupboard door, made from earlier panels, as revealed by bevelled edges that cut into the ship at far right.

The ship graffiti is probably mid 18th - late 19th century, based on similar graffiti cut onto tombstones here and elsewhere on Anglesey. They are generally physical prayers for good fortune at sea; deaths at sea were exceptionally common then.

Unique within a church on Anglesey, so far as I know, but common enough outside.
