Holyhead St Seiriol’s Churchyard War Memorials
Anglesey, Holyhead, St Seiriol’s Church before demolition. 
St Seiriols Churchyard and the space where the Church once stood.
St Seiriol’s Church in Holyhead on the Isle of Anglesey was once a beautiful Church that towered over the town horizon, now sadly demolished. I remember at the time that they were trying to raise money for roof repairs, and then it was decided that it was dangerous and that the money could not be raised.
In St Seiriol’s Churchyard, there are several graves – and memorials on family graves – to the fallen of two World Wars. I have photographed some of them and will return to complete the job as time permits. I have also downloaded the Commonwealth Graves Commission Memorials which gives their full details.
This is the final resting place of one of Holyhead’s greatest World War One (WWI) heroes, Henry Thornbury Fox-Russell, who was awarded the Military Cross and is buried here. On his grave is also a memorial to his brother John Fox-Russell, awarded the Victoria Cross (posthumously) and earlier the Military Cross, actually buried in Palestine.
Also buried here is a father who died in WWI and his son who died in WWII – The Rees family.
