• Is the chapel open to the public?
  • Yes, added.

• How is the chapel aligned, east-west?
  • Sources don't say, and I can't zoom in close enough on the maps to tell!

Lead

• "Capel Lligwy is a ruined chapel near Rhos Lligwy in Anglesey, north Wales ...". shouldn't that be "North Wales"?
  • Interesting. A quick search on Google shows both terms being used. My instinct is "north Wales" because it's not an official term like "North Yorkshire", (unless in the sense of e.g. North Wales Police, of course) but I may be missing something.

• "... or in connection with a local royal court". What does "in connection with" mean?
  • I'll double-check the source but I don't think any further explanation for the theory is given.

History and Location

• "Capel Lligwy was used as a private place of worship for Lligwy House for a time ...". Need to explain what Lligwy House was/is.
  • Fairly sure it's a "was". Will have a hunt, found something earlier but have now lost it!

Architecture and fittings

• "Inside, there is no structural division between the nave and the chancel." Well, it could hardly be outside! But more seriously I think a very brief explanation of "nave" and "chancel" would be helpful here. Could be as simple as saying "the nave, where the congregation sat, and the altar in the chancel".
  • Tweaked according to your suggestion.

Thanks for the review. Further responses to follow, probably after the weekend once family duties are out of the way and the "working week" starts again! Bencherlite^Talk 14:56, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

• I've now added some more about Lligwy House. It appears to be a "was" since it's not listed in the Royal Commission 1930s survey of Anglesey but I've not mentioned this because it seemed to be straying from the chapel itself. I'll add a note if you think it would be useful. Can't find anything else about the theory about the royal court usage. Ready for you to take another look, I think.
