It lies between Menai Bridge, Pentraeth and Beaumaris. It is named after the church, founded in the 6th century by Saint Saturninus, who together with his wife, is commemorated by an early Christian monument.
St Sadwrn's Church is a Grade II*-listed building.[1]
The village was the birthplace of Wyn Roberts, Baron Roberts of Conwy who was a notable Conservative front-bencher for many years.[2]
Close to the village was the site of the excavations that revealed the existence of Bryn Eryr Iron Age farmstead.[3]
