Holyhead in the Great War
A stained glass East Window by Messrs Kempe & So, London, has been placed in St. Seiriol's Church to the memory of all those from this parish who have fallen in the war. A brass tablet has been placed in the Church in connection with the window containing the names of the fallen. The cost of the window was £447 and the tablet, which is the work of Messrs. Wippell & Co., London, cost £190.

The church was found to be structurally unsound in the 1980s and demolished in 1992.
