Detailed comments to follow over the next day or so.

Look forward to seeing them. Hopefully I have learned from your previous reviews in "Operation Anglesey", but it's been a while since I wrote an article... Bencherlite^Talk 20:16, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Lead

• "The doorway is decorated with carvings of two human faces, one wearing a mitre." A face can't be wearing a hat.
  • Reworded. Cadw calls them faces, but you have a good point!
• That massive infobox is crying out to be partially collapsed, but of course that's not yet part of the GA criteria.
  • Hmm. Infoboxes, don't ya just luv em?

History and location

• " The village is about 4 miles (6.4 km) from Llangefni, the county town." But how far away is the church?
  • The sources don't say.

Architecture and fittings

• "The transepts to the north and south of the chancel are square-shaped, measuring approximately 14 feet 6 inches (4.42 m) in both directions." As squares have the same dimensions on all four sides I don't understand that at all. And how many directions does a transept have anyway? Do you mean that both transepts are approximately the same size?
  • Yuck, that was awful, wasn't it? Reworded.

• "... carved faces on either side of the frame; the head to the left of the frame wears a mitre". So what are they, heads or faces?
  • As above.

• "The roof timbers can be seen from inside the church and date from the 19th century." You'd hardly expect to be able to see them from outside the church, so is the point here that the roof timbers are exposed?
  • This rings a bell from previous articles/reviews - I try to paraphrase "exposed" and you point out that "exposed" is simply the easiest way of putting it! Reworded.

• "The mark "IL" within a shield on the chalice probably refer to John Lynglay." Is there more than one mark, or should that be "refers"?
  • Typo, fixed.

• As far as I can do, all done, I hope. Bencherlite^Talk 22:49, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
