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 "unusual in being built closely to the form and detail of its Medieval predecessor."[2] Two 19th-century writers thought that the church was in a "dreary spot",[3][4] but a 2006 guide to Anglesey churches describes it as being in a pleasant location with good views.
