It delves into the architectural and cultural heritage of the church, highlighting its connection to the early Christian history of Wales and its importance in the community of Holyhead. The book not only chronicles the church's history but also recounts the restoration process supported by notable local figures such as the Stanleys, who had a longstanding attachment to the church.
