The Welsh name Llanbadrig means "church of Saint Patrick" and there is a Church of St Patrick on the coast near Cemaes. It is said to have been founded in 440CE by St Patrick himself. Local legend states that Patrick was shipwrecked on the small nearby island of Ynys Badrig (Patrick's Isle, also known as Middle Mouse),{{cite web|url=http://www.anglesey-today.com/llanbadrig.html|title=Llanbadrig Church, Anglesey}}

which can be seen from the stile in the churchyard wall. The nearby cove is known as Porth Padrig. The old church is Grade II* listed.{{Cadw|num=5356|desc=Church of St Padrig|access-date=27 October 2023}}
