*************

The monastery (called St. Seiriol's monastery) grew in size and had a wooden church building by the 10th century. This wooden building was, however, destroyed in 971^[3] and then rebuilt in the 12th century in stone, from 1120 to 1123.^[16] The oldest parts of the church nowadays date to the year 1140. It survived the initial Norman invasion of Gwynedd between 1081 and 1100, defended by Prince Gruffydd ap Cynan of Gwynedd.^[17] The priory church was enlarged in the early 13th century, at the time of the Augustinian Rule.^[4] There are records for the election of Priors in the Calendar of Patent Rolls back to 1306, when one Iowerth the Prior is mentioned.^[18] The dining hall was on the first floor, with a cellar below and dormitory above. In the 16th century, a kitchen and a warming house were added at the east of the building.^[19][20] The eastern range of buildings has gone, but the southern one, containing the refectory with a dormitory above, still stands.^[4]

Llywelyn Fawr and his successors made the church wealthy, giving it land. This was taken away at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 but the church survived.^[5] The priory was in decline before 1536 in any event, and had only the Prior and two other members at that time.^[18]

St. Seiriol's Church, which was the centrepiece of the monastery, is now part of the Rectorial benefice of Beaumaris, within the Diocese of Bangor.^[18] The church was given a grant by the Welsh Assembly Government of £20,570 in May 2004.^[21] This was to repair the leadwork, the rainwater goods, repointing and limewashing of the tower roof and the superstructure of the building.^[22] Another building in Penmon, the Priory House (which is set around the cloister court of the church), received £21,600. This was to repair the chimneys, the walls, the windows and the roof of the house.^[22]
