Rhosybol

Rhosybol (English: Moor in the Hollow) is a village in Anglesey, Wales. The community population at the 2011 census was 1,078.^[1] Located four kilometres south of the town of Amlwch, the village is close to both Llyn Alaw, the largest body of water on the island, and Parys Mountain, the historic copper mines. It is to the mines that the village owes its existence as it was one of several built to house the miners.^[2] During the 1960s noted painter Kyffin Williams produced an oil painting of the village.^[3]

Rhosybol has a Post Office^[4] which is incorporated within its small corner shop. There is also a primary school for boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 11,^[5] in the playground of which is the village's war memorial clock tower. The memorial is unusual in that it only shows the names of those who fell in the First World War and not those in the Second.^[6] The village church is named Christ Church^[7] and is disused but there is a chapel named Capel Gorslwyd where services are still held.
