 The church was at one time an ecclesiastical dependency ( or " daughter church " ) of St Cybi 's , Holyhead . The right of patronage ( the power to appoint the rector of Holyhead and its associated churches and the right to receive income from the church ) was bequeathed to Jesus College , Oxford , in 1648 . The college was the patron of the parish until 1920 , when the Welsh Church Act 1914 came into force and the Church in Wales was disestablished . In 1849 , the writer Samuel Lewis noted that the college and Queen Anne 's Bounty ( a fund to support poor clergy ) had recently each paid £ 400 for a new parsonage . He also recorded that the college received a rent charge of £ 476 and 8 shillings each year from the parish instead of receiving the tithes . The college donated £ 200 towards the restoration work in 1871 .
