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.

Pretty impressive low pressure out there today. Heavy squally showers running through north Wales at the moment.

This is very inspiring work. Have a look at the amazing craftsmanship and maybe consider a donation.
If you like your adits and industrial archaeology, here's a free, very visual write-up for you about the mile-long Penrhyn quarry drainage adit, built 1847-1849, possibly involving some Latter Day Saint drivers, though we failed to find definitive evidence so far.

Gair y Dydd: llysnafedd https://geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html?llysnafedd
Gair effeithiol, onomatopeiaidd bron, i gyfleu'r sylwedd gludiog yn y ffroenau, yr hyn a edy malwen ar ei hôl wrth symud, neu'r sylweddau lleidiog a welir mewn pyllau dŵr, ac ar gerrig ger afonydd. Ydych chi'n defnyddio'r gair hwn?
Word of the Day: llysnafedd
An effective name for phlegm, snivel, snot, mucus, mucilage, the trail left by snail and slime, such as what can be found in pools of water. The name could be considered as an onomatopoeia.
