St Mary's Church, Rhodogeidio is a small medieval church, dating from the 15th century, near Llannerch-y-medd, in Anglesey, north Wales. It served as a chapel of ease to another church in the area, St Ceidio's. Some restoration work was carried out in the 19th century, but St Mary's has since fallen into disuse and is now largely in ruins.
It is a Grade II listed building, a national designation given to "buildings of special interest, which warrant every effort being made to preserve them",[1] in particular because it is "a late Medieval church of exceptionally simple character", and is virtually unaltered despite its poor condition.[2] One writer has said that St Mary's "has the distinction of probably being the most isolated church in Anglesey".[3]
