St Pabo's Church, Llanbabo is a medieval church in Llanbabo, in Anglesey, North Wales. Much of the church dates to the 12th century, and it is regarded as a good example of a church of its period that has retained many aspects of its original fabric. The church houses a tombstone slab from the 14th century, depicting a king with crown and sceptre, bearing the name of Pabo Post Prydain, the reputed founder of the church. However, there is no evidence that Pabo, a 5th-century prince, lived in the area and the tradition that he founded the church has little supporting basis.
The church is still in use, as part of the Church in Wales, although services are only held here occasionally. It is a Grade II* listed building,[2] a designation given to "particularly important buildings of more than special interest",[3] because it is a medieval church that has been little altered.
